The film follows the last night of a gay college student`s (Matthew) life as he struggles to find love on his own terms despite the warnings of his friends to blend in and conform. As they drive towards an unknown destination, Matt`s friend and limo driver, Doc, tries to convince him not to go out tonight. Matt refuses to turn back despite the dangers and his first song, "I want to Find Out Tonight" follows Matt through a colorful musical fantasy of preparing for a night on the town during which he tells Doc about the lover of his dreams and vows to show the world who he really is inside. After a run-in with a group of four-wheeling adolescent hecklers, the self-proclaimed "fag patrol", Matt arrives at Mama`s Place, a local watering hole, more determined than ever. His hopes of finding acceptance and possibly a chance at love seem dashed, however when he is openly scorned by the honky tonk`s patrons.
