Stevie is apprehended in a gay-bashing and sentenced to serve community time in an AIDS hospice. At first, Stevie is intent of doing as little as possible but he is soon confronted with the reality of AIDS. Gradually, he befriends Will, a patient who becomes a mentor to him.
It follows a young man's desperate search for spiritual redemption on the streets. A provocative character study, the film spirals through gritty urban neo-realism, then into haunting surreal imagery that evokes the loss of innocence and vulnerable sexuality.
