 Ethan is a photographer in Los Angeles, still in his 20s, gay, and given to one-night stands that, despite his willingness, don t seem to last past the next morning. His friend Dennis invites him on a getaway to Palm Springs where other friends join them. In the course of the next few days, Dennis and Ethan s relationship goes through several changes as one plays the other, as feelings get hurt, and as Ethan witnesses other men s difficulties with jealousy, commitment, and honesty. To whom can Ethan turn for assurance? To his family, to long-time friends, to his art?
