Finding no other way to stay together, they shack up illicitly among unlikely allies in a "city of refuge." </p><p>With an inimitable blend of tenderness and wicked humor, <i>Deep House</i> moves through the couple's string of rented apartments while unlocking doors to a lineage of outlaw lovers who have come before--smuggling a foreign partner across borders or going public to stand up for the right to get down in the privacy of their own homes. </p><p>What emerges is an unexpected romantic comedy haunted by centuries of gay ghosts. <i>Deep House</i> stands at the intersection of the battle for marriage equality and the experience of undocumented migration--atonce a historical kaleidoscope and the innermost tale of two boyfriends who made a home in the shadows of a turbulent civil rights battle.</p>
