After a park-cruising experiment is derailed by a phone call, 29-year-old video-game designer Patrick meets up with his best friends, roommate Agustín, 31, and Dom, 39, to discuss the impending wedding of his ex. The next morning, Agustín agrees to move in with his boyfriend, Frank, in Oakland, though he wonders if domesticating is the right move. Dom, who's been a waiter at the same restaurant for years, tells his roommate, Doris, that he's thinking of reconnecting with old flame Ethan, who has a successful real-estate career. Later, Patrick meets up with OkCupid date Benjamin; after the date goes south, Patrick is chatted up on the Muni by Richie, a cute barber who also works the door at a Latin drag club in the Mission.

At a video-game launch party aboard an aircraft carrier, Patrick and his coworker Owen meet Kevin, a gay Brit who turns out to be Patrick’s new boss. Reinvigorated after his verbal beatdown of Ethan, Dom tells Doris about his plans to start a Portuguese-chicken restaurant. Agustín is fired by Stina after opining that her chair sculpture is lame, but his outlook on art and life gets a lift when he meets CJ, a sex worker.

Patrick tries to hide his nervousness about Richie meeting his friends for the first time at Dom’s 40th birthday party. Lynn has a dinner to introduce Dom to potential investors; later, Dom insists to Doris that he and Lynn are just friends. Frustrated with the progress of his project, Agustín invites CJ to the birthday picnic, where he and Frank finally cross paths.

At Dom's restaurant opening, Patrick and Agustín show up, as does Lynn with a surprising guest. Frank tells Agustín what's on his mind and Patrick tries fixing what is broken in his life.

After reminiscing over their childhood obsessions, Patrick and Kevin decide to develop a gay game app on the side, but Patrick soon descends into a panic spiral when he discovers a small rash. Dom scopes out a location in the Tenderloin for a peri peri chicken take-out window; Doris is chatted up by a cute political aide; and Agustín makes plans to meet up with Eddie, the "bear" he met at Russian River, but gets sidetracked by an old co-worker.

Patrick begins to question his relationship with Kevin; Agustin spends the day at a shelter.

Patrick goes to San Leandro to see where Richie grew up and apologize for the way things ended. Meanwhile, Agustín visits an ailing Eddie at home; and Kevin mulls his next move.

Patrick throws a bash for Halloween and dresses up as his favorite video-game character, but he's distracted by Richie and his new boyfriend. Meanwhile, Agustín hopes to make after-party plans with Eddie; and Doris reluctantly agrees to a couples costume with Malik.

Patrick looks forward to debuting his new game app at the GaymerX convention with Kevin, but he's afraid their booth might be too conservative. Meanwhile, Dom shows Doris and Malik how his take-out window is coming along; and Agustín is nervous about getting intimate with HIV-positive Eddie.
