A raw, melancholic portrait of obsessive desire and sexual awakening set among Portland's marginalized underbelly, where longing and class barriers collide.

Walt is a lonely convenience store clerk who has fallen in love with a Mexican migrant worker named Johnny. Though Walt has little in common with the object of his affections — including a shared language — his desire to possess Johnny prompts a sexual awakening that results in a tangled love triangle.
