It's 1996, and Jeremy has met the boy of his dreams--a mumbly, starry-eyed Brit--just as, amid a media frenzy, the US Congress prepares the Defense of Marriage Act, denying same-sex couples access to immigration. Finding no other way to stay together, they shack up illicitly among unlikely allies in a "city of refuge."

With an inimitable blend of tenderness and wicked humor, Deep House 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.

What emerges is an unexpected romantic comedy haunted by centuries of gay ghosts. Deep House 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.
