Ben is a bisexual living in New York, drifting from one casual encounter to another. Things change when he meets Sam, a handsome guy with whom he makes instant contact. As they spend more time together, the two men begin to recognize the need to confront past traumas if they really want to bring each other into their lives.
Based on the personal experience of screenwriter / director / and actor, Matt Fifer who together with co-director Kieran Mulcare have created a richly textured drama that tackles complex issues with grace, delicacy and uncompromising sincerity.
Fifer wrote the script with the actor next to him, Sheldon D. Brown, who plays Sam. The connection between the two actors / screenwriters is completely reliable and they manage to touch the heart. Another co-star is Kobi Smolders from the sitcom “How I Met Your Mother,” and from the Marvel cinematic universe in which she plays Agent Maria Hill.
