The dilemma of wash-room sex in Toronto. A mystery unnamed man conjures a circle of dead gay literary figures, including Sergei Eisenstein, Dorian Gray, Yukio Mishima, Frida Kahlo and Langston Hughes, to help him formulate a response to police crackdowns on gay sex venues in Toronto. The artists have seven days in which to report on the ethics of police tactics and infiltrate the police only to discover that they themselves are under surveillance as a political subversive group. The artists explore and report on the evolution of toilets and wash-room behaviour.
