In the freezing winter of 2014, Clinton arrives in Billings, Montana, as a nomad searching for stability, companionship, and a connection that might fill the loneliness in his heart. After a heartfelt prayer, he meets Jason through a gay dating app, and their relationship quickly develops into a shared life. Together, they experience work, everyday routines, romantic dates, and the beauty of Montana. Although their relationship ends after six months, Clinton and Jason remain close friends by telephone until Jason died in 2019. Their story is a bittersweet reminder that some relationships may be brief while leaving a lasting impact.
