Lovers may come and go—but emails live forever. After the death of his former lover Mark, Jeff (Adam Neal Smith) reads through old emails to clean up Mark’s affairs. There are more than a thousand emails in which Mark has been corresponding with men from all over the world, but one particular exchange—with an Italian man named Andrea (co-writer Alessandro Calza)—emerges as more intimate, more charged, and somehow deeper than the others. After discovering that Andrea is about to fly to Dallas to visit Mark, Jeff initially tells the Italian not to come, then reconsiders.
