Alex Reynolds joins his lover Peter Livesay on a trip to Los Angeles, a trip that Peter is taking to attend his high-school class reunion. Feeling a bit bored and a bit rejected when Peter goes to the reunion on his own, Alex rents an X-rated video to pass the time. But Alex gets more than the expected entertainment from the film when he spots Patrick, an old college flame, in a starring role. Being a little bit nosy and a little bit curious, Alex decides to track down his ex-lover and find out what has led him to such a career. Alex does find him ... lying on the floor of his apartment. Dead.

After he's discovered the murdered body of his porn-star ex-lover, you wouldn't think much else could go wrong in Alex Reynold's day. But then his mother turns up, the CIA is strangely very interested in Patrick's murder, and Alex doesn't want to know what the LAPD thinks. Determined to find out what happened and who is responsible, Alex (dragging his lover and his mother along for the ride) must scour the strange world of the Southern California gay pornography industry looking for clues. But, as they go looking for a murderer, they soon learn that a murderer is looking for them.
