Tiger orange follows chet (mark strano, out to kill) and todd (frankie valenti a.k.a. former adult star johnny hazzard), estranged gay brothers, who grew up in a small town in central california with a homophobic, working class, single father. while bad boy todd ran off to los angeles and is now out and proud, chet stayed at home, mostly closeted, to run the family hardware store and care for their ailing father until the father's recent death. broke and homeless, todd returns to the brother he left behind. as long-simmering resentments boil to the surface and the pair confront their differences and similarities, tiger orange serves up a poignant depiction of family dynamics and small town life and the journeys we each must take.
