The film’s plot is intentionally absurd. Four gay friends — Andy, Nico, Jarod, and Griff — travel to Fort Lauderdale for “Gay Spring Break,” competing to have sex with as many men as possible.

Yet these shortcomings also document a specific historical moment: the late-2000s, when gay culture was transitioning from analog subculture to digital mainstream, and when independent queer filmmakers had access to cheap digital cameras but not yet to streaming platforms with quality control. Along the way, they encounter a Greek chorus
