Gavin Nichols (Charlie Hunnam) is on the ledge. Hollis (Terrence Howard), who just learned that he is not the biological father of his children, is tasked with talking Gavin down.  Their conversation eventually reveals Gavin's deep-rooted conflict with his fundamentalist Christian neighbor Joe (Patrick Wilson), whose theological opposition to Gavin was intensified by Gavin's gay roommate and later by Joe's wife's infidelity. The negotiations take a drastic turn when Hollis learns that Gavin has a deadline, and his life is not the only one hanging in the balance.
