Mel (Steven Lim) and Ash (Chowee Leow) are two ever so slightly aging gay British Chinese men who start to come to grips with getting older after the sudden death of an old friend. Mel by fighting to not settle down with Todd (Gareth Rhys Davis) the young man who worships him and continuing his sexual adventures. And Ash by trying to become a transvestite to attract the macho man of his dreams. Both end up not quite getting what they want in Cut Sleeve Boys.
