After his long-time lover dies of AIDS, prominent actor Ian McBride lives a solitary life centred around his theatre company in Washington DC, unwilling to risk the pain of loss that another relationship could bring. Then, during a production of "The Tempest", Ian falls in love with Jimmy Davidson and slowly begins to tear down the wall he has built around his emotions and plans a new life with the much younger actor. But hope turns to rage, sadness and loss again for Ian when Jimmy is brutally murdered during a visit to his family's home in Texas. "All We Have Is Now" is the story of a man's journey through his grief and anger, back to a place where compassion brings hope, not hate and love can't be silenced.
