Set in Hollywood, The Dying Gaul tells the story of Robert (Sarsgaard), a bisexual screenwriter who is offered a large sum of money by Jeffrey (Scott), a studio executive for his latest script - as long as he changes one of the characters from a man to a woman so the movie will not be about a gay man dying of AIDS. At first Robert refuses to compromise his vision, but after being harassed by both Jeffrey and Jeffrey's wife, Elaine (Clarkson), he accepts the deal. As he attempts to alter his very personal script, he is haunted by visions of his dead boyfriend, Malcolm (Camp); meanwhile, Jeffrey begins to show a sexual interest in him, and Elaine is also intrigued by the very serious writer. As secrets are revealed, thoughts of murder surface.
