SYNOPSIS

A young gay drifter and his search for acceptance drives this heartfelt, beautifully crafted
tale of family, rejection and unconditional love.

REVIEW

In a North Carolina beach town, lonely motel manager, George (Michael Kelly), befriends a
new arrival: the attractive drifter, Michael (Kip Pardue). While claiming to be in town to
protect the endangered Loggerhead turtles, Michael may actually be running away from
something. Elsewhere in NC, preacher’s wife Elizabeth (Tess Harper) notices that a pair of
gay men has just moved across the street. Elizabeth is appalled by this and another recent
neighborhood development, the placement of a statue of naked man, but her feelings are
masking an even deeper disturbance. Another woman, Grace (Bonnie Hunt), is also coming
to terms with a deep down pain – she gave up a child for adoption many years ago. So she
comes back to her hometown with hopes – and help from a pseudo-detective – to find him.

Making his narrative feature debut, Tim Kirkman (The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me)
cleverly shuffles three sets of characters and timelines (pay attention for hints indicating
which is which) that eventually intersect in a powerful, profound way. A humanistic and
gifted auteur, Kirkman coaxes sublime performances from all of his leads, including earthy
and sexy upcoming indie star Pardue.
