A mystery tale driven both emotionally and politically by two opposing truths.

Truth No. 2: Choosing to die is illegal. Later, when Matt is found dead - it is discovered that his death was not due to natural causes. Enter Nick Di Vivo (Parker Posey), a sharp Manhattan district attorney, who is investigating Matt''s death - the most recent in a series of unexplained suicide-like deaths that have taken place in the Chelsea district''s gay community. Now, she is pushing hard to get to the bottom of his death.
