Four years ago a drowning accident brutally ripped Jason out of artist Frank HunterтАЩs life. As he celebrates his forty-fifth birthday with his friends, Frank knows his dating life is over. A chance meeting with Donny Rodriquez, however, shakes FrankтАЩs world to its core. Donny is twenty years FrankтАЩs junior, but so full of life and vitality that Frank knows he has to paint the young man. Donny agrees, although he makes his romantic interest in Frank plain. Frank does his best to put Jason and the past behind him, but the memory of his late lover won't let him go.
Yet Donny sparks something in Frank, and after several disastrous dates with men his own age, Frank ends up back with Donny. Donny soon learns that to win FrankтАЩs heart, he must not only bridge the age gap but find a way to enable Frank to let go of the past.
