David Bennett, a naïve graduate student, has volunteered to work as a "buddy" (volunteer bedside companion) for people dying of AIDS. Assigned to the intensely political Robert Willow, a lifelong activist whose friends and family have abandoned him following his diagnosis, the two men, each with notably different world views, soon discover common bonds, as David's inner activist awakens and Robert's need for emotional release is fulfilled. The film is a drama about a person with AIDS, but the story is an intensely personal study of friendship, love, death, and loss.
