Plot
Frankie struggles to escape his Brooklyn home life. He balances his time with a new girlfriend, his friends, and chatting on the internet with older men with whom he meets up for sex and drugs. He does not, however, identify as bisexual or gay to his girlfriend or male friends. He just "has sex with men", in the words of one of his internet partners. Frankie attempts to compartmentalize his life by having sex with older men, hoping to avoid anyone who might happen to know his friends.
