Chastity, a lonely, angry Latina, talks tough but can't follow through. Webb, who is black and gay, is a masochist ensnared by a sadist. ". . .a matter of choice" examines what happens when three longtime roommates are forced to make a personal choice: Either fight to stay together or accept the distance friendships can drift - even under the same roof.
