Plot Synopsis

In the summer of 1977, handsome teenager Scott Thorson walked into the Las Vegas Hilton dressing room of flamboyant, world-renowned entertainer Liberace. Taken with the young man, Liberace hired him to be his personal friend and companion. Despite their age difference and backgrounds, they embarked on a secretive and often tempestuous five-year love affair that eventually ended in a bitter and public breakup. When Thorson sued for palimony, Liberace denied he was gay or that they had been lovers.
