Forced into early retirement by a heart attack, he wanders aimlessly through the graffiti-marred streets of his New York neighborhood. Familiar haunts trigger flashbacks of happy and not-so happy times. Could anything have been different? Could he have denied his true identity and married as his lover, Peter, did? Should he have? Would it have worked out? Could he have lived with himself? These seem to be the unspoken questions in the back of his mind.
