On Christmas Eve 1989, aspiring filmmaker Mark Cohen, and his roommate, Roger Davis, learn that the rent previously waived by their old friend and now landlord, Benjamin “Benny” Coffin III, is due. Meanwhile, their former roommate Tom Collins shows up and gets mugged.
Mark and Roger meet with Benny, who plans to evict the homeless from the nearby lot and build a cyber studio. He offers them free rent if they get Maureen, Mark’s ex-girlfriend, to cancel her protest against his plans, but they refuse.
Roger, who is HIV-positive and a former drug addict, tries to compose one last great song before he dies. He’s visited by Mimi, an erotic dancer and heroin addict who tries to convince him to do heroin together despite her own HIV+ status.
On Christmas Day, Mark and Roger are visited by Collins and Angel, now in full drag, bearing gifts. Mark attends an AIDS support group meeting while Roger rebukes Mimi’s advances. The group imagines moving to Santa Fe and faces challenges in relationships and health.
Over time, conflicts arise and resolutions are made. Benny returns their apartment, relationships form and break, and Angel eventually succumbs to AIDS. Despite challenges, the group finds unity in the face of loss and hope for the future.
