Plainclothes
Everyone has a secret.
Directed by Carmen Emmi
Produced by Lorton Entertainment, Page 1
A morally fraught drama about an undercover cop torn between institutional duty and forbidden desire, grounded in 1990s shame and the closet.
In 1990s New York, an undercover police officer receives an assignment to lure and arrest gay men. However, he's surprised to discover a scintillating connection with one of his targets. As their secret connection deepens and internal pressure to deliver arrests intensifies, he finds himself torn between duty and desire.
