Filled with razor-sharp one-liners and plenty of eye candy, A FOUR LETTER WORD follows a group of friends in New York's Chelsea gayborhood, led by Luke (Jesse Archer), a charming, promiscuous "gay cliché" who works in a Chelsea sex shop. Then Luke falls hard for macho man Stephen (Charlie David) and considers giving monogamy a chance. But everything is not as it seems, and Luke realizes that being true to oneself may be the best way to deal with some four-letter words, like love.
