Description

This film explores the lives of two young men who, as children, were sexually abused by their baseball coach and response to the sexual abuse is different ways. One boy, who is coming to terms with being gay, views what happened as consensual and special. He becomes hyper-sexual and turns to prostitution as a means to make money by older men. The other boy cannot remember a lot of memories associated with the sexual abuse except weird sensory details making him believe he might have been abducted by aliens. He experienced persistent bed wetting, chronic nosebleeds, fainting, and not interested in sex at all. This film depicts multiple scenes of an adult man in a power of authority grooming a young boy with special attention and affection. The grooming escalates into the adult man taking photographs and recordings of the boy making suggestive noises and poses. Eventually, the physical contact escalates from mouth-mouth kissing to sexual touching and molestation to rape. There are multiple scenes depicting a teenage boy engaging in sexual intercourse with much older adult men for money. There is a scene of two boys kissing each other and a man yelling a homophobic slur and cocking a rifle to shoot them before they escape. In one scene, a young man coerced into taking substances and, when he fails to comply with demands, he is tackled, hit, and raped in a bathtub by an older man resulting in bleeding and bruising. In one scene, a young man is sexually assaulted by a woman who touches his genitals over his clothing and tries to pull his pants down without his consent. There are two child-on-child sexual abuse (COCSA) scenes. One scene depicts a boy isolating a boy, threatening to kill him, and sexually abuses him similar to how he was sexually abused. The another scene depicts a boy sexually abusing another boy at the direction of an adult man.
