Jimmy Wheeler had hopes and dreams. He was a gifted poet and painter who understood the power of words. He had a loving family who supported and cared for him. But for Jimmy Wheeler, growing up gay in rural Pennsylvania was too much to take. He was abused regularly at school. He was called awful names. In 1997, alone in a cold room, Jimmy Wheeler took his own life.

Five years later, armed with video equipment and determined to show the world how times have changed, three members of Young Gay America embark on a road trip adventure that will change their lives forever. Interwoven with Jimmy's life story are their cross-country road trip and interviews, where we see for the first time on film an America where homophobia is no longer an everyday fact of life.
