Anthony Godby Johnson was a 1990s New York City miracle: a boy who escaped years of horrific abuse only to discover that he was dying of AIDS. A boy who authored his own autobiography. A boy who earned friends and fans worldwide—and who did not exist.

Featuring Oprah Winfrey and the remnants of Anthony Godby Johnson's long-forgotten television special alongside the first public glimpse of the hoaxer behind the myth, TONY FRAGINALS tells the inside story of the scandal from the perspective of the person for whom Tony was a childhood friend.
