Ben Schmidt survived the prostate cancer at the heart of Jim Arnold's acclaimed novel "Benediction," but will he and handsome partner Jake Brosseau survive the maelstrom of midlife crises they now face? From the parade of men who (sometimes) want them, to children and parents who (usually) need them, Ben and Jake fight to master new challenges that make their San Francisco lives ever more precarious. Perhaps Ben will find success as a reluctant dad. Or, he'll solve a workplace mystery without going broke or getting fired in the process. Maybe, finally, he's ready for the consequences of a truly open relationship. Perhaps Jake can keep all the balls in the air as he juggles dalliances and impending bankruptcy. Maybe, finally, he'll find the freedom he desires inside a committed relationship with the man he loves. Like that train wreck impossible to turn away from, you'll applaud Ben, Jake and the rest of their posse as they seek separate-as well as joint-ways over the hurdles thrown their way.

Palm Springs: Jorge Gomez leaves his poor family behind and remakes himself as ambitious George Gomes. Soon young gay George is picked up by Connor Hurst, who takes him to an empty mansion for a night of lust. Connor convinces George to work alongside him in a scam targeting gullible retirees with classic desert homes. George appears to be on a strange path to the American Dream, until his help covering up a violent death propels him toward bigger risks-perhaps even murder, one that seems justified, one promising a sizable payday. George doesn't know his role is to take the fall. Yet he isn't as stupid as everyone thinks. Left alone, literally hanging on a wire with a corpse, George must fight enemies real and imagined if he has any hope of finding his dream-or even staying alive long enough to enjoy it.
