Falling

Zusatztext

If the helicopter had to crash, at least it was during the last shot on the last day of filming. After moving from the hospital to a skilled nursing facility, movie star Jonathan is expecting his on-and-off girlfriend to swing by on her way out of town. The person who opens the door is his former on-set nutritionist Billy. They were never more than friends before. But Jonathan wants to know if he comes out as bi, could they go on a date? Billy didn't have much of a plan when he left his pandemic volunteer gig to drive across three states. All he knew was Jonathan could have been killed in Las Vegas, and Billy wasn't there. Now Jonathan's assistant has ditched the actor and he needs help, so Billy steps in. He's positive when Jonathan's discharged, they'll discuss that date. But recovery takes a detour, and Jonathan's second near-death experience means they have to put the brakes on a relationship. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, two of Jonathan's past partners are negotiating their own new relationship, and Billy realizes the best thing for all of them might be ... all of them. The only real question is, does Jonathan still want him as part of the deal?
