Adventure is afoot in the small coastal town of Emerald Cove. Dave Shipper (John Weisbarth) is all set to enjoy a quiet summer, but the arrival of his cousin Jon (Frank Jimison) throws a wrench in his plans. Rather by chance, they happen upon an old map that sets them on a quest, along with Dave's friend Freddy (Freddy Rible), to seek out a legendary treasure said to be buried deep inside the ocean cliffs. With the help of an old local fisherman ("Smokey" Tom Hodgins), the boys compile clues that unravel a 30-year-old murder mystery and lead them closer to their prize. They quickly draw the attention of a bumbling crew of malicious treasure-hunters and a mysterious pickaxe-wielding "digger", all intent on capturing the gold for themselves.

Why do you love, and what are you doing about it?' These words of Bill T. Jones (Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company) open IT HAD TO BE YOU, a film that looks at three Philadelphia Gayborhood couples, two male of differing generations and one female couple, as they negotiate life, death, love and why we're here.
