Unrequited is a story of everlasting love, heartbreak, addiction, and courage of the human spirit to fight back against all odds.
Travel back in time to this peaceful New England community during the simpler days of the post WWII era of 1955, and join Joe on a reminiscent walk down Main Street America to the Five and Dime where he'll ask Kathy, the love of his life, out for the first time.
Visit the Connelly's home as Kathy and her family gather around their potbellied stove and trade stories of family values and of Chester, the fabled family protector.
It's the picture-perfect family he's always wanted and, when he calls on Kathy, he's welcomed with open arms. Their courtship is the fulfillment of Joe's dream of becoming a man, husband and someday a loving father. When he proposes and she says yes, their future promises them an idyllic lifetime together. Fate breaks that promise and Joe's plans are turned upside down, forcing him to examine his own life as the son of a drunken father, and now as a man with nothing left to live for.
Suddenly the peaceful 1950's become his prison, and he'd like nothing more than to escape forever...to rest in peace. But the keys to his prison are hidden away in the true meaning of life as told to him by Riggs, a wise elderly black man with roots in slavery. Riggs shares his three truths with Joe as they've been handed down for generations, but is there more to Riggs and his three truths than meets the eye?
Follow Joe on his journey from heaven to hell and back again as he strives to understand these three truths. Will he actually survive this God-awful ordeal, or will another twist of fate send him spinning toward suicide?
