Plot summary
The documentary looks at gay men in London who take part in chemsex, injecting drugs and gathering for parties that last through the weekend. Much of this happens in spaces kept out of sight, in basements, bedrooms and bars. Several of the men are trying to step away from the scene and stay alive, and a health worker has set himself the task of helping them. Their lives also involve HIV, addiction and the wish to be accepted as the world around them changes. What the documentary shows is a side of modern gay life that it says most of society does not look at.
