A fresh fable of choice and consequence, “or” is about a boy-from-the-hood made good who’s dancing the corporate tap dance by day and living on the down low by night. Growing up in the Detroit ghetto, Dante Ellison wanted to be Mayor of Detroit. But at 30, he’s disillusioned with politics and career. Worse yet, he’s worried that he’s losing touch with his blackness. His suspicious girlfriend, his WASPy “ex-roommate” and a drug dealing politician are all waiting for Dante to find a way to make his life work…to their advantage. Luckily, Dante has a talent for picking his way through this not so black and white, not so straight and narrow world.
