Afgekeurd door de buitenwereld en oncomfortabel met zichzelf. Netflix' The Boys in the Band, een nieuwe verfilming van Mart Crowleys baanbrekende toneelstuk uit 1968, toont een inkijkje in het leven van een groep homoseksuele vrienden die bijeenkomen voor een verjaardagspartijtje. Door alle zelfhaat, drank en opgekropte geheimen loopt het echter al snel uit de hand. Destijds was The Boys in the Band een voorbode van cruciaal activisme, de nieuwe verfilming is vooral een zware terugblik.

Ook komen hun conservatieve families aan bod en hun worsteling om al dan niet te trouwen. Hun coming-out op late leeftijd brengt nieuwe uitdagingen met zich mee.
