A tender, intimate portrait of two men discovering unexpected connection over a transformative weekend, balancing vulnerability with quiet joy.

After a drunken house party with his straight mates, Russell heads out to a gay club. Just before closing time he picks up Glen but what's expected to be just a one-night stand becomes something else, something special.
