Ethan Mao

Resorting to a life of hustling after his parents find a pornographic gay magazine in his room and kick him out, Ethan Mao quickly learns how to survive on the streets. Popular with older men craving some young Asian loving, Ethan also forges a strong bond with Remigio, an attractive pimp of sorts who gets Ethan acquainted with drugs and other illegal activities. After learning that Ethan's family is away for the holidays, the two young men go to Ethan's former home to retrieve his belongings. But what starts out as a simple mission becomes a highly complicated mental, emotional, and physical struggle when Ethan's father shows up and a hostage situation ensues.

  A watchable film but there were too many missed opportunities that would have made it a classic. The lead actors looked great and the story line had a lot going... read more »

  Likeable enough film, easy to watch, but none of the raw emotions seem to come through how they should. Gay love story tinged with touch of Clockwork Orange. ... read more »
