In ELECTRICITY, openly gay sex addict Brad hooks up with closeted virgin Gary in a motel room after their 10th high school reunion in 1983.  They form an undeniable connection that draws them back to the same motel room once every ten years.  As the decades fly by, their lives transform and reflect the changes in society around them from that closeted first night in the 80’s to a world where even gay marriage is possible and it’s their time to decide.  Is their connection over, or is it really just beginning.
