When he leases a car, he meets his fiancée, Kate Cleary. The two buy a small home and have ambitious plans for the future. It is then that the AIDS epidemic raises its ugly head. After a gay friend dies of AIDS, his lover, a retired doctor, asks Jerry, the fledgling stockbroker, to help earn money for AIDS victims, but they experience strong resistance.
