An English professor, one year after the sudden death of his boyfriend, is unable to cope with his typical days in 1960s Los Angeles. George Falconer (Colin Firth) approaches a car accident in the middle of a snow-white scenery. He wakes up: he was dreaming about the moment when his partner of 16 years, Jim (Mathew Goode), died. George remembers the phone ringing on that fateful day when Jim's cousin told him about the fatal accident. George is depressed and packs a gun in his briefcase. On campus, George meets a student named Kenny who discusses recreational drug use with him. George buys bullets and goes to a convenience store, where he meets Carlos. At home, George pretends to shoot himself but can't find the right position. He attends dinner with his friend Charley and they remember their past. The scene flashes back to 1946 when Jim and George had met at a bar. Returning to 1962, George goes back to the same bar where he meets Kenny again. They talk and go to the beach and swim naked. They go to George's place and Kenny tends to George's forehead injury. George dies of a heart attack later that night, seeing the image of Jim kissing him.
