As seen through the raw digital lens of a Canon XL2, boy friends exposes four young men's desperate yearnings for connection and meaning within the loud city of Los Angeles. Kyle second-guesses his decision to leave the city and his dream, Lex struggles to find purpose, Chris deals with a breakup, and Peter falls in love (maybe).  As we follow their day and night of drinking in Echo Park, we watch them attempt to connect to one another, the women they encounter and, ultimately, themselves.
