Five strangers facing shame and potential death from AIDS form an unlikely friendship that transforms them from ordinary citizens to extraordinary activists. They struggle against stigma and fear; suicide and isolation. Fifteen years later, against all odds, they are still alive. Their friendship becomes a remarkable story: a quiet victory of meaningful, beautiful lives in a rapidly evolving South Africa.
