A gay comedy of manners and morals, Every Man for Himself skewers the gay archetype of the nineties - the buff poseur - and breathes real life into an age of sexual chaos, pumped-up extremes, and the ever-changing rules of attraction.Meet the exquisitely handsome John Eames, well-positioned in a San Francisco publishing firm, ex-member of the gay disenfranchised (read: out of shape), and vitally aware of the important things in life (Armani vs. Timberland). But despite his perfect pecs, great hair, and fabulous face, the eve of John's thirty-third birthday has left him helplessly stranded between two parallel lives: one as the dutiful husband to Harrison, a staid forty-two-year-old history professor, the other as a queer on the rebound, panting for that lost spark of passion. Until a trial separation with Harrison ignites a high-octane fantasy come true, where stability clashes with abandon and good sex proves stiff competition for the human heart. As friends take sides, enemies take cover, and one-night stands take what they can get, a dance of discovery begins, led by one totally liberating and wildly unpredictable law of desire: every man for himself. Only this man may not want to play by those rules.
