In 1990s New York City, undercover cops are tasked with luring gay men into compromising positions in order to arrest them. Lucas (Tom Blyth) is one of those cops. Hiding from his own past and his own desires, he manages to trap targets successfully, until he meets Andrew (Russell Tovey). Though Lucas doesn’t intend to fall in love, he does, and he must confront how he’s living his own life. Tragically beautiful and heavy, Plainclothes is a film that isn’t easily forgotten once the credits roll.
We sat down with stars Tom Blyth and Russell Tovey to talk about queer history, the weight of the subject, and more.
