The Broken Kings tells the story of boys trying to become men. It follows three friends as they go out into the world to become adults. Going their separate ways, each of them encounters difficulties that force them to reconsider their preconceptions of sex, love, and parenthood. The Priest is tempted by infidelity and mystified by sexuality, the Lover is haunted with romanticized memories of his ex-girlfriend, and the Warrior fumbles through preparation for fatherhood. All of them dysfunctional, the three young men must struggle to decide what manhood looks like, and how best to overcome the challenges of life in a world with no easy answers.
