All Michael wanted was a place to make a home with his partner Daniel, the owner of a small catering business. He thought that if he just maintained a low profile his sexuality wouldn't be an issue. But when a troubled student levels a serious accusation at him, Michael discovers that homophobia still runs rampant in his quiet, sheltered community. Later, things go from bad to worse for Michael when the student runs away from home, prompting his financially destitute mother and her opportunistic boyfriend to tray and make some quick cash over the controversy. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

David Noh, Film Journal International
Bare-budget drama of gay male couple whose "accepted" existence in a small Connecticut town gets overturned when the teacher half is accused of impropriety.

Brent Simon, Shockya.com
Three-fifths of a good movie -- a generally well sketched drama that fumbles away its accrued admiration late in the third act, with a twist that feels like a sop to audiences of small screen procedurals.
-
Marshall Fine, Hollywood & Fine
Worth tracking down to its digital release platforms..It will force you to deal with prejudices you may not even know you had.
