Noah likes people watching, so when he notices a cute gay couple who don't seem to have a reflection, he's fascinated.

But Noah is hiding a secret of his own, and how could two men from decades or even centuries in the past possibly care, possibly understand, when they discover Noah wasn't always Noah?<br><br>That first hurdle is only the beginning, though.
