Adam, a white man in his late 30s, is visiting his Black ex-lover, Peter, who is dying of AIDS in a DC hospital. The year is 1993. Also in attendance is Cherie, a Black lesbian naval officer who is Peterās best friend. The two listen sympathetically to Peterās complaints about how his āChristianā family has abandoned him until a nurse arrives to give Peter medication. While waiting in the hospital cafeteria, Adam and Cherie, meeting that day for he first time, compare notes about the course of Peterās illness. This leads them to a terrible discovery. Adam, in particular, is confronted with a choice that, while still in shock, he doesnāt know how to handle.
