In the following decade, Will moved to New York, filling his days with numerous meaningless affairs, still haunted by his lover's disappearance--had he drowned? Or had he planned to abandon Will that night? While throwing himself into the gay scene of New York City in the time of the AIDS epidemic, Will meets a young man just as tormented and scarred by the past as Will.
