Synopsis:
Christopher's finally getting his life together. He's got a new lover, tender, handsome James; he's even pursuing his dream of going into business, abandoning a secure teaching job, when his old lover, Henry, turns up in town with the tell-tale signs of full-blown aIDS. Henry's hoping to take advantage of the new treatments, but there's a possibility that he'll be resistant to the combination of new and old drugs now available. Henry's need for support and hopes of repairing his relationship challenge Christopher to deal with the past, and incorporate it into his pursuit of the future.
