This is a love story that’s frank about the waning of passion, the ebb of sexual desire, the curdling of affection into irritation, infidelity and the seeming death knell of the trial separation. One of the significant things it has going for it is the refusal to sand the edges off the relationship to view it as a perfect romantic union. The full title of Ausiello’s book is unequivocal - Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies - and the script by actor-turned-writer David Marshall Grant and author and LGBTQ activist Dan Savage clues the audience in pretty much from the outset that this will be a grief drama.
