Fellow Travelers

In 1950s Washington, Hawkins Fuller is at the State Department enjoying clandestine sex with men and avoiding entanglements; everything changes when Hawk begins an affair with Tim Laughlin; in 1986, Hawk decides he must see Tim.

Hawk distances himself from Tim when the State Department begins investigations; Mary comes under suspicion; Marcus loses his job after a dispute with Roy Cohn; Hawk draws closer to Lucy.

Hawk and Tim's road trip turns sour when ulterior motives come to light; Marcus and Frankie encounter a racist bouncer; Roy tries to keep David from being drafted; Tim withholds forgiveness until an emergency changes things.

Facing a polygraph test about his sex life, Hawk courts Lucy; Marcus makes peace with his attraction to Frankie; Roy threatens to destroy the Army when David is drafted; Tim recruits Hawk to help his AIDS activist group.

Roy Cohn's obsession with David Schine leads to the televised Army-McCarthy hearings; Hawk tries to protect Sen. Smith while hiding his secret life from Lucy; exposed to McCarthy's - and Hawk's - true natures, Tim makes a life-changing decision.

It's 1968 and Tim's an anti-war protester sought by the FBI; Hawk and Lucy have two children and a country house; out of touch for years, Hawk wants Tim back in his life and Tim - on his way to becoming a priest - can't resist Hawk's charms.

It's 1979; Tim, now a social worker, travels to Fire Island, where Hawk takes him on a tour of "gay paradise"; in San Francisco, Marcus and Frankie are drawn into the explosion of gay rage prompted by the verdict in Dan White's murder trial.

In 1957, Hawk and Tim reunite at Sen. McCarthy's funeral and try, one last time, to find a way to be together; in 1986 San Francisco, Hawk seeks redemption as Tim makes a wrenching decision that will change Hawk's life forever.
