Aspiring actor Logan Foster (Windham Beacham) reads the note that his wife Adrianne (Maggie McCollester) left for him when she went out to run an errand. Unfortunately, she was involved in a fatal auto accident and never returned. It looks to the couple's friends that Logan will never recover from the shock, and they aren't surprised when he decides to sell the couple's dream house, since it holds too many memories. The first and only person to look at the house is reformed drug dealer Gil (Matthew Montgomery). He thinks Logan is the real estate agent and asks him for a tour of the house. After the tour Gil is compelled to buy the house. It is only after the deal closes that he realizes Logan was the former owner. The two men are drawn to each other and form a friendship that evolves into much more.
The close friendship takes a step beyond one night, when a sleepwalking Logan enters Gil's bed and the two straight young men have sex. This seems to be aided by Logan's dead wife making ghostly visits to both men, and she seems to know this was destined to happen and is encouraging it. Both are confused by this since neither one of them is gay. However, they work through their confusion and admit their love for each other. They are wise enough to realize that love is a rare and special gift and when it is offered you take it without worrying about how the package is wrapped. But as their relationship deepens, Gil's mysterious past erupts and a startling revelation about the true nature of their connection threatens to destroy it and change their lives forever. The ending is not predictable and leaves the viewer to ponder the possiblities.
Reuniting the actors from his hit film "Long Term Relationship", director Rob Williams' "Back Soon" is a tender, sexy drama that explores the depths of love, loss, identity and hope. This isn't your typical gay romance, and only some minor characters are gay. While done on a small budget, from a screenplay with more than its share of trite, cheesy lines, and featuring acting (with the exception of the two lead actors) that would be laughed off a high school stage, the story is at least original in its approach to explore the dynamics of attraction and love, with a twist that is both thought-provoking as well as slightly cringe-inducing. Reviews and comments are mixed, since it isn't everyone's cup of tea. Gay fans of the supernatural may like it more. DVD extras include actor and director commentaries, cast interviews, and a stills gallery. Austin Wintory composed the original music, and Rob Williams wrote the screenplay and directed.
