Будучи активистом движения против СПИДа в 1980-х и 90-х годах, Сэм был свидетелем смерти слишком многих друзей и любовников. Его миновала эта печальная участь, но это не дает ему право забыть о прошлом. Пересматривая старые архивные записи, он отчаянно пытается понять, как, гей-сообщество докатилось до такого и какова ситуация сегодня. Сравнивая жизнь погибших друзей с жизнью своих молодых партнеров, Сэм поражается равнодушию современного поколения к политике секса и смерти.

Они исповедовали свой альтернативный lifestyle — с сексуальными оргиями, наркотиками всех видов, бесстрашием перед спидом, полицией, общественным мнением. Их девиз: «Если у тебя есть горб — брось на него немного блесток и иди танцевать!». Майкл Элиг — реальный персонаж, который действительно смог в кратчайший срок превратиться из простого официанта в живую легенду клубного движения Нью-Йорка.
