Tommy(Steve Braun) is a political activist in college during the 1970s, where at a party he meets Alan(Larry Sullivan), where Alan invites him to dinner. When he goes, thinking its a date, he actually finds out that Alan wanted to interview him for a book he is writing about homosexuals and that Alan has a girlfriend, the kooky Beverly(Sirena Irwin), who sees the chemistry between the two and leaves Alan.

The two become friends, but eventually have a fight, and Alan writes and publishes, under the advice of his attorney Peter(Ray Baker), his highly critical of homosexuals book, but as anonymous. Tommy comes to see him and they apologies are made. They become a couple, and we flash four years later to 1977.
