F. SCOTT FITZGERALD SLEPT HERE explores the intimacy of friendships between men and the dynamics of unlikely match-ups. Paul and Gordon seem like opposites, Paul is a scruffy, white, girl-hungry, FTM poet exploring the limits of his new gender the way other people test drive cars. Gordon, on the other hand, is an over-achieving black student who is balancing his identity as a gay man with his conservative professional aspirations.

When we first meet the duo, Paul is mid-recovery after a blind date gone Crying Game and Gordon is worried about making a good impression at his upcoming meeting with the chair of the physics department at Princeton. While it seems like they couldn’t be less alike, the more we learn about Paul and Gordon, the more we find out that they both are struggling with the same question: How do I fit in?

The answer for each of them will have to come from the strength of their friendship, and they look to each other for the answers to life’s toughest problems. The limits of their relationship are tested and it turns out that maybe the Ivy League really can destroy even the best of friends.  F. SCOTT FITZGERALD SLEPT HERE is about the decisions that friends make for each other and for themselves, and what happens when they can’t be synchronized. Paul and Gordon are unbeatable together, or at least that’s what they thought. They can take on the world, but can they survive each other?
