In the small southern town of Azalea Springs, a controversy erupts when a local AIDS facility is established, and the country club set, known as "The League," is unsettled by the prospect of interacting with patients. The situation escalates when a rumor spreads that the town's drinking water may be contaminated with a substance that causes homosexuality. As tensions rise, a group of homophobic protesters appears, and a local newspaper gains widespread attention. Amidst the chaos, two love affairs unfold: Alex, a young woman, falls in love with her best friend, Grace, at the AIDS facility, while Mark, a newspaper reporter, becomes involved with Tomas, a Latin house painter, who mistakes an ex-gay meeting for an A.A. meeting.
