Next morning he wakes up in strange surroundings, quickly discovering that he is in the bed of his new guardian angel (alone). Hastily, and embarrassingly, he meets the young man's two gay dads before they take a bus into town. Sobered up, "Manny" suggests they hang out for a bit and it's at this point we discover that he has some intimacy issues - which the rest of this film sets about explaining to us.

Clearly made on a tiny budget, the hand held camerawork is twitchy and disorientating at times, and the dialogue struggles to put any meat on the bones of this really rather disappointing, if quite good looking, story.
