The film explores the life of black-American Chiron across three time periods, from adolescence to young adulthood. As a shy and withdrawn child, Chiron faces bullying and neglect from his crack-addicted mother, who prioritizes her own desires over his well-being. Despite this, he finds solace in his Cuban-American friend Kevin and the guidance of a neighborhood drug dealer named Juan, who recognizes Chiron's struggles and offers wisdom.
