Dominican Boy is the raw story of a peculiar 14-year-old Dominican immigrant. He finds himself submerged in books and stuck struggling to exist between a multicultural world of Brooklyn and Queens, circa 1995. He's a ghetto nerd who seems to have no problems with girls. So much so that even the older women on his block try to seduce him- to his overbearing mother's chagrin. He's haunted by fantastical dreams. Dreams that have been influenced by an insatiable thirst for fantasy in a space he wishes he could escape. He's a misanthrope. Not by choice, but because he has a deep love and disdain of others. He fancies himself an archetypical protagonist of Greek tragedies and ends up becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.
