New York City, 1983: Michael, an uptight college professor, came out of the closet in college. Trying to deny his sexuality, he married Fran, but he couldn’t live that lie. Divorced, Michael comes out again. With his friend, Clay, a set designer on a famous soap opera, Michael goes to Provincetown for an end-of-summer vacation. Clay’s other half, Ed, has rented a cottage while working in town. There, Michael meets Jai. Drawn together, despite a “gay plague” that is menacing the community, they have to determine if, together or separately, they can discover a magic part in their lives that will sustain and not separate them.
