San Francisco in the early 1990s. Cab is on the deep end of a losing streak. After having been
dumped yet again he moves to Haight-Ashbury fresh out of college. It is the middle of a
recession before the dot-com boom and AIDS is an immediate and untreatable reality. He finds
himself working in a housing program for people with HIV AIDS. The entire city is reeling. His
clients are dying. Cab records their every word. He starts drafting a narrative of every person
with whom he's slept: those who dropped him those he adored and those he let go of without a
second thought to reassess what he has left behind from the South of his childhood of dyslexia
and infatuations football and ecstasy divorce and sex panics. In between girlfriends acting
up attempts at romance and trying to find his place in the greater San Francisco narrative
Cab is looking for something tracing the interconnecting stories of the people he's meeting
sleeping and drinking with as everyone tries to find a space in the city. As treatments
emerge and the economy changes a new story takes shape in Cab's life and the city.
