At the heart of the story is the relationship between two sad middle aged men, Horace Jones and Darren Cates who have not seen each other in forty years since boarding school. Something shocking occurred at school, an event so unspeakable neither man will mention it directly. Now forty years later, in the midst of a scramble to secure half a million dollars of drug money, they must face the past. The film has the feel of a stage play and features extraordinary performances by the two lead actors. Although at first glance Blue Moon is a crime suspense story it's much more in the tradition of Dog Day Afternoon/The Crying Game.
