Plot

Composed of two intertwining stories, one a gay coming-of-age story of a teenager nicknamed "Chip" and his first love; the second, that same character 20 years later. Now called Christopher and in the closet, he wants a life in politics and is about to run for the Maryland Senate with the help of his fiancée's family--one of the most politically-connected in Washington. But when Chris' first love resurfaces in his life, a man who reignites a passion in him, Chris' carefully-constructed world threatens to crumble around him.—Neil G. Murray

Two high-school seniors fall in love at the New Mexico State Fair over summer vacation. One, guilt-ridden, breaks it off; 20 years later he is running for office when, with his fiancee, he encounters his ex-boyfriend, who has chosen the darker side of life. A film-noir style drama about broken dreams.—Anonymous
