The low budget indie drama begins with Will (Ronnie Kerr), a gay officer in the U.S. Navy who leaves the armed forces.

His buddy Rich (Bruce L. Hart) attempts to fix him up with the sexy and handsome Josh (Ian Roberts), they have instant chemistry between the two, but their lives can never quite align.

Other cast members: Bill Biss of EDGE Media Network praised Roberts' portrayal of "a roguish, sexy and an ultimately sensitive" lead hero.
