Strange Way of Life follows in the footsteps of other queer Westerns like Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain to explore masculinity in a deep, meaningful way that diverts from the traditional formula of the genre. It begins when Silva rides out to visit Jake and reminisce about old times and celebrate the fun they had in their youth. Before they were separated, the two worked side-by-side as hired gunmen and enjoyed a passionate relationship with one another. Their happy reunion is soon put on hold as Jake suspects that the rancher has an ulterior motive for suddenly arriving at his home.
