New York City

A revolutionary sociologist in American history, Donald Webster Cory, is practically unknown until a journalist decides to write an obituary about him in a local magazine. When visiting those who knew Cory the best (and the worst), finishing the piece proves to be difficult. This is due to Cory becoming a social pariah within the sociology and gay communities before his death.

Two commuters find themselves on a delayed New York City subway train. As conversation progresses, unfortunate commonalities are found, even if one doesn’t believe it.
