Big Eden is a tiny town tucked away in the timberland of northwestern Montana, where Cowboys lounge on the porch of the general store to pass the time away. It is also the childhood home of Henry Hart, a successful but lonely New York artist who returns after years away to care for his ailing grandfather. Back home, Henry confronts his unrequited passion for his high school best friend and his feelings about being gay in a small town. Warmed by the openness and affection of old friends, in time, Henry finds new possibilities for friendship and romance.
