As Mark struggles with his severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and his bisexuality, he's got a lot of time to figure out something meaningful to do with his life. Recently disabled and unemployed due to the OCD, he explores dating different men in an attempt to surround himself with good people, or at least one who's beneficial. Since women reject him unequivocally, the only relational options for Mark are to be with a man or to become celibate, and his spiritual discovery and self-awareness grow with every new chapter in his life. Join Mark on this journey of navigating the difficulties of disability, acceptance, sexuality, spirituality, and the quest for significance and love, as he battles depression, self-doubt, disappointment, and bewilderment in dealing with various friends and foes along the way.
