Synopsis

Charlie (Dan Futterman), unable to reconcile the loss of his long-term boyfriend, aimlessly wanders the streets of downtown Manhattan. He locks the gaze of a mysterious stranger, who disappears, and Charlie sets off on an increasingly desperate quest to find this stranger in the New York night.

Charlie meets a host of bizarre characters, each of whom recounts an urban myth. He finds his borders of reality shifting - the lines separating past and present, truth and illusion, and hate and healing all become blurred. Disturbed and dejected, Charlie decides to punish the people responsible for his misery.

The result is a provocative, sexually-charged noir that probes the powerful and transcendental nature of love.
