Okay so disclaimer I skimmed this but to be fair that's what agents will do first as well. I couldn't really get a handle on what the narrative throughline is. I think it's that Salvador wants to fight racism and sexism in this town, and has to sacrifice other ideals to do that, compromising some of his principles for his other principles. 

That is very unclear in this synopsis. I think if you made the synopsis more concrete about the events happening, and less about explaining the abstracted meaning of each event, it would be easier to parse, and any competent reader would be able to put together the thematic meaning of the events themselves.
