Unable to share his vulnerability with his wife Claire (Monica Dolan), Colm’s world is falling apart around him.

In the midst of this crisis, Colm solicits sex from a young man called Jay (Tom Glynn-Carney). This encounter and his growing infatuation has a deep effect on Colm. He finds a comfort in Jay that no one else can provide.
