Matt (Philipp Kamer), an openly gay man, receives an invitation to the wedding of his former boyfriend Ryan (James O'Shea). In high school Matt and Ryan were best friends. Actually, they were also lovers. They had planned on going to Stanford together, but in the end Matt went and Ryan stayed in their hometown in New Mexico.

When Matt realizes that Ryan is going to marry Alex (Tori Spelling), a woman, he decides he has to go back home and make sure Ryan is not caving into social pressure. He also has pined for Ryan and thinks of restarting their relationship. It's been 10 years since they've seen each other, and during that time they have both thought of what might have been.

Matt discovers Alex is a wonderful woman, and the two bond instantly. Now the three of them, along with Alex's and Ryan's families, spend the last few days together before the wedding. But the past comes back to haunt Ryan and Matt and it also effects Alex, and soon all three of them are wondering what they should be doing with the rest of their lives and with whom who they should be doing it.

Finding one's sexual identity is only part of this film. It's a look at relationships of all kinds - and commitment. It's a fun litte story. Just don't expect an Academy Award movie.
