This is the love story of Adam and Tony, told in flashbacks starting at a time way before they met in their mid-20's. Robert Taylor deftly weaves a rich texture through this story of family, pain, joy and the impact this all has the long-term relationship of two men in love.

Adam, the middle child of three, grows up in Texas with a handsome, gregarious father and a frail mother. Tony, on the other hand, is the youngest of seven children and grows up on a potato farm on Long Island.

We get to witness their first fight, their first house, dealing with aging and often difficult parents, financial choices, career pressures and changes, and a terrifying medical diagnosis. Throughout it all, the couple manage to focus on the task of redefining and strengthening their love and devotion to each other, making everything else in their lives ultimately more bearable.
