Moody Kip Harding is dumped by his roving-eyed lover, beefy Jason Silver, who's too busy tricking with dirty talking Richard Harshburger, a business man with a lust for butt plugs. Kip rebounds into the strong arms of ebony hued Corey Cox, finding the heat and passion that has eluded him for so long. Both men have to face the prejudice of their friends.

Shades of Grey was filmed entirely in Chicago.
