Gabriel, an office temp by day and aspiring Broadway theatre composer by night, makes eye contact with Mark, a Go-Go dancing in a gay bar. The two meet again in the subway the same night, and go back to Gabriel's place to have sex. They are thwarted in the attempt first by Gabriel's aspiring actress friend Katherine, who is obsessed with her role in an adaptation of ''Salome (play)'' set in a women's prison, and then by Gabriel's roommate Rich, who returns home with his girlfriend Judy and has similar (and conflicting) plans for the apartment.
