Plainclothes

Set in upstate New York in 1997, a young police officer named Lucas (Tom Blyth) is working undercover to entice gay men into illicit interactions by luring them into a shopping mall bathroom. When Lucas finds himself drawn to a handsome target named Andrew (Russell Tovey), he ultimately defies his professional orders and soon begins to unravel under the pressure of keeping his true self a secret. First-time director Carmen Emmi deftly explores a risky and forbidden existence for a young man in uniform in this taut, dramatic story of hidden desire.
