In the middle of the 1950s, America fell in love with Rock Hudson. Ranked the #1 box office draw in the country, Rock was an American ideal of masculinity — strong, confident, and above all, romantic. But the figure that America worshiped as the perfect man was really a façade propped up by years of scheming and betrayals.
It was a secret that stayed hidden in plain sight for years… until a crisis struck, destroying decades of secrets and lies in an instant, and kicking off a movement that would go on to change the course of millions of lives. This is the story of Rock Hudson, the rom-com star who became a symbol of American masculinity — and what happened when that image was shattered.
