Prison Blood of a White Fraud

Eric is a retired white gay man, partnered to Harry. Eric has always had a yearning to be a black man and while surfing the Internet, finds an article that shows how a young white man took tablets to turn his skin black. This intrigues him and he searches for more information. His search discovers a medium that allows him to inject a substance into his body that will turn his skin darker and tablets that will enhance the injections so he can retain the darker color. He decided to try as an experiment and orders the injections and tablets. His partner Harry is not happy with his decision and an argument ensues.
"I did not marry a black man." Harry argues.
"My skin might turn darker but I am the same inside; I am still the same man you married?" Eric answers.
"No you are not; you are black and I married a white man." Harry pleads with him.
"I need to do this Harry; I don't know why but I just need to do this. I need to know what it feels like to be black?"
"Then you do it alone; get out of my house and don't come back until you come to your senses." Harry shouts.
Eric leaves the room and goes and packs a small bag and walks out of the house; he is now homeless and a black man. Can he survive as a black homeless man?

Eric meets up with another black homeless man named Beauregard Marmaduke Washington or Beau for short. Beau understands his feelings and encourages him to continue the injections and tablets but suggests he meet a local community doctor; known for his herbal remedies; the local 'Witch Doctor'. The 'Doc' agrees to help but there is a price, there is always a price, and Eric finds himself given tablets that turn his skin almost a dark 'Negro' colour and suddenly finds himself waking up in a strange place. He has been drugged and his mind altered to that of a Negro drug dealer and is soon captured by police and incarcerated for violating parole; the 'Doc' has given him the face and description of an escaped prisoner from Georgia State Prison and he is sent from Chicago where he is arrested and sent back to Georgia State Prison where he supposedly escaped and was the leader of the Black Prisoners and head of the drug distribution in the prison.

The story expands on his being black, his incarceration and eventual release and setting up of a drug distribution outside of prison in the lower suburbs of Chicago and how he is manipulated by 'The Doc'. His nature is altered to that of a vicious underworld leader and killer. Eric goes through several identity changes and names through interference from 'The Doc' but never once decided to return to his old self; he liked being black.
