The documentary follows Kenyatta's journey to become Pennsylvania's first Black and openly gay U.S. Senator, and shares the biggest lessons he learned while running for office. It highlights how Kenyatta's authenticity in an age where the public demands more honesty from politicians, was a key factor in his success, as he earned endorsements and support from major figures and unions despite running behind opponents in terms of money raised. Kenyatta has pointed out that his campaign was bigger than taking on the political competition, as it was a love story to Pennsylvania, to progress and a story about Black love.
