African American architect, author, and well-known professor of countless New York interior design students, Robert A. King, is an obsessed man when it comes to gargoyles, 'grotesques,' and other elements of building sculpture. These details tend to be ignored by New Yorkers and others who walk the streets of New York City. King, a lifelong Harlem resident loves to find and photograph these 'faces in stone' and had developed a secret and comic relationship with them which the film explores.
