Russell Tovey & Tom Blyth in "Plainclothes"
Trailer released today. In theaters Sept. 19th.
[quote] Syracuse, 1997. Promising undercover police officer Lucas (Tom Blyth) is dealing with a breakup and the recent loss of his father. When he receives an assignment to lure and arrest gay men in a mall bathroom, he is surprised to discover a scintillating connection with Andrew (Russell Tovey), one of his targets.
[quote]As their secret connection deepens and internal pressure to deliver arrests intensifies, Lucas finds himself torn between duty and desire. At his mother’s New Year’s Eve party, Lucas loses a letter no one was ever meant to read. With time running out and his secret life closing in around him, the evening builds towards an explosive reckoning where everything he’s buried threatens to erupt.

i met some boyfriends in outdoor cruise areas.
I dont mean I ran into my boyfriends there. I mean we met as strangers, hooked up, and took it from there.

Tovey is a bad choice here. He looks way past his prime as if that hot piece Tom Blyth would get all worked up over that,

That phrasing wasn't a mistake.
Joking aside, I didn't realise that still went on in the late 90s. I suppose it was still before the internet had properly taken off.
But the part about worrying a letter might get out feels anachronistic. I've only seen that kind of plot in stories set in the era when homosexuality was still illegal.
