Will wants to ask Seth to be his best man when he marries his boyfriend, Derek. The problem is, Seth doesn't believe in marriage. He's also afraid of losing his best friend. As they work this out in Will's SF apartment, a dual time line from 1967 reveals the apartments original tenant, fresh from MO. Gregory is also trying to work out where he fits in as a gay man. What binds these two timeline together are the names on the apartment wall, preserved from tenant to tenant, reminders of every man who passed through looking for his own place in the world. In the end, Gregory finds strength in his hope for the men who will follow; Will and Seth find peace in the strength of the men who proceded them.
