By CinemaSerf

So "Caleb" (Sean Paul Lockhart) encounters and falls totally in love with "Jeremy" (Rob Moretti) and they look set fair for a happy, romantic future. Until, that is - "Caleb" discovers his friend has quite a significant secret and that pushes him very close to the line as he seeks truth and revenge. Moretti wrote and directed this, and as so often happens in that scenario, he has lost any real sense of objectivity with the story. It's at times quite an engaging little romance, but as it progresses it becomes angrier and more far-fetched with two routine performances that run out of steam as the dialogue and plot get mired down in a whole load of overly contrived psycho-babble - before a really poor ending. The tension does increase as the film advances, but for it's own sake - the viewer is left with way too many "would/could that ever happen, or why?" moments that just rendered it all a bit implausible and empty.
