The Hottest State

My heart is gold, what will you give me for it?

Days before his 21st birthday, William, a young actor, meets and falls quickly and madly in love with Sara, a seductive yet skittish singer/songwriter. The film follows William as his affair takes him from a Lower East Side tenement to a Mexican hotel room and through the emotional extremities of passion, rage, and need. Yearning for someone to love him back, William's journey forces him to come to terms with his own past and the father he barely knows.
