Troy has always been torn between his fight for the rights of Black Americans, the community from which he comes, and his fascination for his idol, Michael Jackson, of whom he dreams of becoming one of the dancers.
To assert oneself in order to exist or to deny oneself in order to continue dreaming in Michael Jackson's footsteps: this choice will be the common thread on which Troy will evolve all his life. From the black and white screen, could the black star turned white remain the model of a Troy born and remained black? A Troy, an adult, in the grip of doubts and problems related to a skin color he cannot, nor wants to erase? Could he really say to himself that he didn't, "it doesn't matter if you're Black or White?" as the man who put it on the stage without knowing it sings to him? This is Troy's story, in Michael's footsteps.
