Set in the 90s, Plainclothes follows Lucas (Blyth), “a working-class undercover officer” who is tasked with entrapping and apprehending gay men, only to find himself drawn to one of his targets (Tovey).
Maria Dizzia, Christian Cooke, Gabe Fazio and Amy Forsyth make up the supporting cast. “Plainclothes is a heartfelt story that deals with internal conflict, family, and the complexities of sexual identity in the face of societal and personal expectations.
We are excited to bring his first screenplay to life with this incredible cast,” producers Colby Cote and Arthur Landon told the publication at the time.
