Hit the Wall is an engaging story set in a New York City summer illustrating the tension and breaking point of the Stonewall Riots of 1969. Characters bearing resemblance to historical figures offer a glimpse into the lives of the LGBT people who struggled to find their place in a time where police raids on gay bars were commonplace and the US legal system worked against them.
