Brian in three seasons

Brian Moss is the urban gay everyman. Nearing 40, Brian has settled for sex with strangers. His incomplete dissertation on painter Toulouse-Lautrec haunts him. He toils four night a week as a friendly bartender and one day a week as a frustrated art history instructor, career paths that disappoint his hard-driving land developer father, who is recovering from a mild stroke. In general, it's an unsettled autumn for Brianp̮lus, a man who romanced him has been seeing a psychologist about going straight. Winter is a season of real discontent: his father suffers a debilitating stroke and then dies, though not before father and son achieve an emotional reconciliation; his college gig is in jeopardy; a co-worker's lover is diagnosed with cocktail-resistant HIV; and his putative boyfriend disappears. All's well come spring, however: his boyfriend has returned; he's offered the position of humanities dean at his college; and he inherits a portion of his father's sizable estate.
