In this searing drama from the early days of the AIDS epidemic, people face death from a new and unknown disease, but they also discover tenderness, caring, friendship and love. Directed by Arthur J. Bressan Jr., who would die of complications from AIDS two years after the film was released, the film follows a New York City gay man in a monogamous relationship becoming a "buddy" or a volunteer friend to another gay man dying of AIDS and the friendship that develops.
