Debbie's world just implodes.

Everything she thought she knew about her husband, her marriage, her future, gone in an instant.

But to Debbie's credit, she doesn't get mad.

She's hurt and devastated, but she also seems to understand that Stephen's been drowning and decided to come up for air.

They divorce, but remain friends.

Finally, Stephen stops hiding.

He moves into a small apartment and starts attending a church that gears its ministry to the queer community.

He meets a man named Jimmy Kemple.

Tall, dark, handsome.

For the first time in his life, Stephen gets to be himself.

He lives openly as a gay man.

Eventually, Steven and Jimmy move to Miami together and rent an apartment in Palm Beach.

They go to movies, concerts, and dinners.

They hold hands walking down the street.

For a guy who spent 30 years pretending to be someone else, this must feel like breathing for the first time.

Except there's a problem.

They don't just want to be themselves.

They want to live fabulously.

Mercedes in the driveway, designer clothes, Michelin star restaurants, and that kind of lifestyle doesn't come easy when you're starting over in your 30s.

So when the money runs out, when the bills pile up, when reality threatens the life he's always dreamt of, Steven does what he's always done.
