Synopsis

James Sanchez is a 29-year-old gay man who feels he has reached a dead end in his life. While his best friend Roxy, an actress-turned-activist, struggles with showing him there is life beyond the glitz of the disco ball, his other friend, Brandon works on getting James to socialize. Feeling out of place in the world and caught between his Hispanic-American heritage and being gay, James grows, realizing that life is in the journey, not the destination.
Throughout his long journey to find a partner, James dates many different guys, many whom he met in gay bars. He attempts to find a man online, which leads him to Mike. They go on a date, which seems to be "perfect," only to be never called back. Throughout his relationship troubles, he also deals with his parents who try to be much too accepting (they buy him overly stereotypical gifts such as musicals and a sex swing for special occasions), a lack of a job, a lack of inspiration for his talents as an actor and his lack of confidence to approach the man to whom he crushes on, the hot and sexy coffee barista in the cafe down the street. After going through friendship troubles, all too depressing moments and losing his apartment's electricity, he struggles his way back into life by getting an acting job and perhaps finding the man of his dreams.
