Half-closeted and horny, the stories his dad tells about former girlfriends and the redeeming pulse of history (as a middle-aged high school teacher, his dad's spent enough time considering both) just won't cut it. Calvin tries to make sense out of summer hookups and a bristling community memory of 9\/11, but words fail and what's familiar is becoming unrecognizable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrashing in Williamsburg with his cousin Alexa, Calvin crosses paths with Gus. As Calvin becomes entangled in Gus's world of jaded cover-band musicians, he wonders if adulthood doesn't have to be synonymous with loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFifteen years later, Calvin returns from abroad to find the absences of his ex-partners still haunting him.
