In the heart of Africa, young Paris resides with his family amidst the comforts of a middle-class existence. Despite the outward appearance of contentment, Paris harbors a secret so profound that its revelation threatens to unravel the very fabric of his life.

As a child, Paris believes he can confide in his father, trusting him with his truth. However, his father, entrenched in a society that vehemently rejects such truths, responds with attempts to "cure" his son through brutal means, leaving Paris not only battered physically but scarred emotionally by the denial of his true self.

We journey alongside Paris through his formative years into adulthood, witnessing his elaborate efforts to conceal his authentic self from the world, even creating an alter ego, Hector, who embodies strength and stoicism. Yet, when Paris unexpectedly falls in love, the carefully constructed walls around his identity begin to crumble, forcing him to confront his deepest truths.

Faced with the choice between conformity and soul-preservation, Paris is compelled to flee not only his home and family but the entire African continent. His quest for survival becomes a journey of self-discovery as he grapples with the daunting task of shedding his metaphorical mask and embracing his true essence. Along the way, he encounters others who, like him, must navigate the treacherous waters of societal condemnation, facing threats from murderers, rapists, extortionists, and jihadists. In this perilous landscape, survival is far from guaranteed.

Pariah, The Price of Freedom is a retelling of a true-life story-a gripping exploration of the unknown and a courageous odyssey to reclaim the right to exist authentically regardless of the cost.
