"A Love Story for the Heavy Hearted"

Hunter is haunted by the past - the ghost of a failed relationship leaves him unable to find love even in his fantasies. An impromptu dinner with his extravagant drag queen roommate, a former gay stripper turned Conservative evangelist and an annoying acquaintance with a lazy eye, all of whom have excess baggage of their own, makes for an awkward evening. Only when a sexy stranger from Pocatello, Idaho with an uncomplicated outlook on life and a big-hearted spirit named Afrodite enter his life does he have the courage to face his demons. One Love explores the power of perspective and its influence on the complexities of love.
