| Ralphy, a young gay man, is dying of AIDS and vents his rage on his parents. He leaves and hitch-hikes across America sending his parents a constant stream of abusive and angry letters. All the while he is getting sicker. At home his mother and father have to face hard truths about their son and their now sexless marriage. Decent people trying to do the right thing, they do not understand their son's attitude toward them. When they discover where he is, they are faced with the decision of whether to leave him there as he wishes or to bring him home to die.

Ralphy can't bear it. He hits the road, peppering his helpless Mom and Dad with angry letters - and final farewells ..." -Francine Russo, Village Voice
