An intimate, melancholic portrait of two men from different worlds finding unexpected emotional connection and mutual awakening amid the devastation of AIDS and social abandonment.

David, a naive graduate student, has volunteered to work as a 'buddy' for people dying of AIDS. Assigned to the intensely political Robert, a lifelong activist whose friends and family have abandoned him following his diagnosis, the two men, each with notably different world views, soon discover common bonds, as David's inner activist awakens and Robert's need for emotional release is fulfilled.
