It was the early 1980s, a few years after the Illinois Supreme Court established the Attorney Disciplinary Commission to investigate charges of professional misconduct against Illinois lawyers, determine which of them will be prosecuted to have their law licenses taken away. Paul, a young, idealistic gay man just finishing law school begins working at the Commission, where the first Administrator is still running the agency. At about the time he meets Brian, with whom he might be falling in love. He also encounters homophobia at the Commission and learns of a plot by two right wing conservative religious fanatics - one an evangelical fundamentalist, the other a Roman Catholic - who are trying to kill the Administrator and take over the agency to exploit it to further their own extreme political and religious agenda. Will Paul and his friends at the Commission figure out what is happening in time to save the Administrator before he is killed, and before they themselves are killed for interfering? Will Paul's love for Brian be strong enough to see them through this ordeal and survive as a couple - if they survive at all?
