Sutphin Boulevard

Friends for more than 20 years, Michael Rodriguez and Nunzio Medici struggled to escape their harsh upbringing in New York's borough of Queens to become teachers together at a high school in Manhattan. Their friendship has always been close but without benefits until a summer night when they go out dancing and end up in a three-way. Now, Michael and Nunzio want more than a platonic friendship but are afraid to risk losing the bond they already have. Meanwhile, Michael must deal with a crisis involving his estranged father, and to cope, Michael begins to alienate himself from family and friends, including Nunzio, spiraling down into self-destructive behavior. Michael knows he will lose Nunzio, what is left of his family, and possibly his job if he continues, but he can't find a way to change his actions or seek help.
