Storyline

Lincoln, who's not yet 18, leads a straight life most of the time: he has a girl friend, goes to dances, jokes with guys. But he also has a secret life, in which he's drawn to dark places where he has sex with men he doesn't know. One night, while visiting a gay video arcade, he connects with John, a Vietnamese-born gay man, in his 20s probably, whose father was an African-American US soldier. John invites Lincoln to spend some carefree time with him, and Lincoln takes him to his father's boat. John then convinces Lincoln to take the boat into the Mississippi delta, where setting off some fireworks out of season precipitates betrayal and revenge. Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
17 June 2001 | by Brandy-28 – See all my reviews

This movie wasted tooo much time on other subjects. It should of made the storyline with the two guys a lot more intense and interesting. Instead - yawwwwwwn city. Who cared about the slacker boys and girls getting high in what looked like a garage. Or the relationship between that girl and Shayne.

This movie could have been a whole lot better.
