Two strangers enter a witness protection program, forced to pose as a married couple to evade those who want them dead. Franklin, an orderly English professor, and Owen, a volatile dropout with a criminal past, share only one thing: they are both gay. Living together as Mr. and Mr. Fulton in a small house, they quickly discover they are intensely incompatible. However, both men are haunted by their complicated histories, and dangerous individuals are relentlessly pursuing them. With their lives at risk, Owen and Franklin are bound together, for better or worse.
