More DescriptionDavey's lover, Frankie, died 5 years ago but he couldn't seem to get on with his life.
He even thinks about killing himself, but can't do it for fear that he might be sent to hell and never see Frankie again. In mourning for his lost love, Davey forgets about the other things that matter. He does not perform well in his job, and he forgets to take care of himself, gaining weight in the process.
Then one day, when Davey tries on his clothes, they won't fit. He goes to The Gap to buy new clothes and there sees this hottie with muscles in all the right places. But when Davey invites him to lunch, the hottie spurns him and calls him 'Fatso.'
That does it for Davey. He renews his membership at the gym where he and Frankie used to work out and buys healthy food at the supermarket. For the next few weeks, he finds himself working out regularly and dieting. How he wishes seeing the hottie again, and then the guy might invite him out because then he'd be looking good. And then Davey would turn him down, the way he did back then.
On his return to The Gap, Davey gets to talking with the clerk, Ted, who invites him out to non dinner date. That one date is followed by another, then another. They'd been seeing each other for 7 months when one day Davey sees Ted flirting with the hottie. He becomes jealous of Ted and ignores him.
Ted calls him and admits he loves him, but Davey is afraid to love him back because he feels guilty. He doesn't want to forget Frankie, and doesn't want to love another guy for fear that he might be betraying Frankie's memories. Will there be a happy ending for Davey and Ted?
