Josh Sullivan (Troy Sostillio) and Paul McEwen (Henry White) are a happy gay couple just three days away from the most important event of their lives--adopting a son, Nikki (Nicholas Siljee). He is the son of Susan, a friend of Paul who died of cancer and willed that Paul and Josh raise her son. Nikki's grandmother opposes the adoption and there is a heated custody battle. On his way to a custody hearing, Josh accidentally witnesses some gangster killings in a deli, but does not notify the authorities or tell his lover. Unfortunately, the mobsters know who he his, and don't believe he will remain silent. The mob sends the son of the mob boss to silence him, but a scuffle occurs and Josh pushes the assasin out the window and continues to keep up appearances. When this fails, Josh finally tells Paul what is happening, and together they address the situation exactly like action heroes in mainstream movies, sending the couple into a world of deadly deceit, double-crosses, and violence. Theres a twist in the plot, but in the end Paul and Josh survive a bullet-riddled showdown that pushes their relationship and lives to the limit. Finally they win custody of Nikki.
The story doesn't seem credible, partly because it was written, produced, directed, and edited by the same individual. Director Dough Langway turns the action genre on its heels with this independent film--the world's first gay action movie. Lawrence Feber of Time Out New York wrote, "This crowd-pleasing, gengre-bending, gunslinging gay love story will blow you away!" and XY Magazine called it, "The most important gay film of the decade."
