What an awful week news-wise. I&#8217;m still broken up about Robin Williams&#8217; passing.

Working at an animal shelter, David keeps his head down, desperate to prove to a hostile town he\u2019s a new man. The one time David looks up, he spots fellow motel dweller Ben, and is terrified by his attraction to the man. David doesn\u2019t want to feel anything.

What begins as an easy gig turns complicated when Ben, a controlled man, can\u2019t deny the pang of empathy he feels for his subject, David.
