In the wake of the 1992 Los Angeles Race Riots, an unexpected love story emerges from the ashes. Tommy Choi, a sensitive nineteen-year-old Korean American, and Lamar, a confident and strikingly handsome African American elementary school teacher, find their lives intertwined amidst the charred ruins of Compton, one of America's most violent and gang-infested cities.

Their love story is anything but ordinary. Amidst the backdrop of racial tension between Blacks and Koreans in the City of Angels, Tommy and Lamar struggle to bridge the divide. Their relationship faces fierce opposition from Tommy's virulently racist and homophobic father, who forbids any contact with Lamar. As gang violence and murder escalate in Compton, the lovers navigate a treacherous landscape of familial resistance and their own fears and doubts.

In a city darkened by hatred and violence, Tommy and Lamar's love shines as a beacon of hope. Their romance defies the odds and stands as a testament to love's power to transcend even the deepest divisions. Yet, this love story carries a heavy burden, propelling them toward a heartbreaking conclusion.

A New Kind of Flavor is a captivating love story with an LGBTQ twist, weaving the urban grittiness of "Boyz n the Hood" with the timeless tragedy of "Romeo & Juliet." Tommy and Lamar's bittersweet tale resonates long after the final page is turned, as their star-crossed romance defies all odds but ultimately leads to a devastating reckoning that will change their lives forever.
