The story takes place in New York in the mid-1980s, and the first act of the Millennium introduces the central character Louis Ironson. He is a Jew who lives with his gay lover, Prior Walter. But Pryor later discovered that he had AIDS, and society still knew little about the disease at that time. Louis could not bear the great pressure and abandoned the other party and moved out. At the same time, on the other side of the city, there is a Republican lawyer named Joe Pitt. He is a Mormon and is also trying to suppress his homosexuality. In the show, the notorious McCarthyist Roy Cohn offered him a promising job, but Joe didn't immediately accept it because he was worried about his wife, Harper, who was addicted to diazepam. As the plot develops, Pryor finds that ghosts and angels often visit him and are called prophets by these people; Joe struggles with the contradiction between his religious beliefs and sexual orientation; Louis regrets abandoning his lover and is tortured by his conscience all the time.
