Think how many others there are like me, hiding in the shadows, operating in the night like foxes, for fear of rejection and a life of ridicule. I've worked too hard to gain my respect only for it to be taken from me because of something I can't control. Foxes follows Daniel, a young black man trying to keep up with his life, which is moving fast.
