A very cursory telling of the beginnings of the AIDS epidemic. Raymie was a nurse who got into selling pot and that morphed into him selling drugs to combat AIDS (though at that time the drugs were experimental and AIDS was called GRID - Gay-Related Immunodeficiency Disease). The stories of many people are condensed into the details of very few, but this is still a stark reminder of a terrible time.
