In the vibrant downtown art scene of the early 1980s, three young artists, Kate, Anton, and Keith, navigate their creative and emotional journeys. As they party, photograph, paint, and perform through Alphabet City's clubs and lofts, their lives take a devastating turn when Anton and Keith contract a mysterious illness, dubbed the "gay cancer." As Kate's music career gains momentum, she fights to save her friends, while the cameras capture the struggles of those affected by the epidemic, including the artists' parents, patrons, and patients.
