The Pink Bus

A month before Election Day, the Democratic nominee for United States Senate in Texas--a gay reality television star named Patrick Francis Monaghan--takes to the stage to deliver a speech. Before the candidate can begin, he is shot twice in the stomach. As doctors work to save him, the listener is taken on a touching journey through the preceding 40 years of Patrick's life. Through a tight and appealing cast of characters, we see Patrick navigate what it is to be a gay man--and a public figure--in our rapidly changing world.
