Fellow Travelers

In 1950s Washington, Hawkins Fuller avoids entanglements and moves up the ladder at the State Department. Everything changes when he begins an affair with Tim Laughlin. In 1986, Hawk decides to meet Tim.

Hawk distances himself from Tim when the State Department begins investigations. Mary comes under suspicion. Marcus loses his job after a dispute with Roy Cohn. Hawk draws closer to Lucy. In the 1980s, Hawk observes gay life in the AIDS crisis.

Hawk and Tim's road trip turns sour when ulterior motives come to light. Marcus and Frankie encounter a racist bouncer. Roy tries to keep David from being drafted. In 1980s San Francisco, Tim withholds forgiveness until an emergency changes things.

Facing a polygraph test about his sex life, Hawk courts Lucy. Marcus makes peace with his attraction to Frankie. Roy threatens to destroy the Army when David is drafted. In 1980s San Francisco, Tim recruits Hawk to help his AIDS activist group.

Roy Cohn's obsession with David Schine leads to the televised Army-McCarthy hearings; Hawk tries to protect Senator Smith while hiding his secret life from Lucy; exposed to McCarthy's - and Hawk's - true natures, Tim makes a life-changing decision.

It's 1968 and Tim's an anti-war protester sought by the FBI. Hawk and Lucy have two children and a country house. Out of touch for years, Hawk wants Tim back in his life and Tim - on his way to becoming a priest - can't resist Hawk's charms.
