Henry Cray is a young gay man who's gone away to college and is enjoying the liberty of coming out, away from his family. The problem is that the boy's father is a powerful, conservative U.S. Senator and around campus, the son's homosexuality is a bit of an open secret. Enter 28 year-old gay activist Anthony looking to party, who quickly meets several guys willing to show him a good time -- including Henry. Unaware of Henry's identity, Anthony hooks up with him and spends a fun evening on the floor of the school's darkened gymnasium. When Senator Jack Kray finds himself fighting for his political career in a tight run-off election, he enlists his son against his will to be the "posterboy" for the campaign... but Anthony and Henry may spin the campaign in an unexpected direction.
