Kurt, a silver fox dance instructor, and his young fiancé, Travis, have an arrangement: when one’s away, they’re allowed to stray... as long as they’re safe. One night, over a dinner conversation about wedding invitations, Travis admits that he had a fling with a man named Gideon who he believes removed his condom during sex. He also reveals that he didn’t start taking the HIV preventative medication PrEP (TRUvada)—as promised—putting himself and Kurt in danger of contracting HIV. When Gideon appears on their doorstep in the middle of the night, the threat to Kurt and Travis’s relationship is an alarming force to be reckoned with.
