Editor's Note
Stuck in a rather dull and predictable suburban existence, Cliff (Andre Noble) has never ventured to explore his burgeoning homosexuality. For his 18th birthday, his precocious 12-year-old sister (Haylee Wanstall) gives him a bottle of booze and a joint, and instructs him to put an end to his virginity. Cliff, all too happy to take her up on the challenge, ends up cruising the downtown red light district where prostitution and other nefarious activities seem to be an exotic and adventurous new world. He falls in love with Butch (Brendan Fehr), a sexy and sympathetic hustler. When Cliff finds out Butch is addicted to crack, he discovers that life on the street is not as alluring as he once believed.
