Inspired by true events, Splinters is an American family tragedy
infused with love and hope. After witnessing a horrific murder by
their own mother in rural West Virginia, brilliant young Gerald and
his baby sister Stephanie become orphans and find very different
fates. Stephanie is quickly adopted, while Gerald languishes in a
series of schools for boys. Eventually Gerald joins the Army and is
recruited for intelligence work in a secret facility, where he
becomes addicted to stimulants. When he gets thrown out of the Army
for sexual impropriety, Gerald makes his way to Los Angeles, where
he finds work as a go-go dancer and meets Aziah. Young, gay, and
Black, Aziah identifies with Gerald's loneliness and difficulty
fitting in. The two fall in love. Then Gerald's addiction and the
ghosts of his past begin to surface, and he vanishes. When
Stephanie shows up in Los Angeles, she and Aziah must confront the
question of whether Gerald is so far gone that he can't recover.
