Synopsis
The story follows a diverse group of fictional characters as their lives collide at the Stonewall Inn on a hot night in June 1969. Part I explores the life of each character in the hours leading up to the riot, establishing the oppressive atmosphere of 1960s New York. Part II sees the police raid the club, which the patrons initially endure but then revolt against after being pushed too far. Part III takes place the morning after, as the characters, aware that something momentous has occurred, await the new dawn
