Gerald (Allan Wayne Anderson) and Joseph (Nate Lovell) are co-workers,
good friends - and secret lovers. Thing is, Gerald is married to Kerry
(Jennifer France), the two have a child, and he tries everything to mimick
the perfect husband even though she has noticed he has grown distant of
late. Then Gerald is brutally murdered, and his body is found outside a
gay club. Detectives Williams (Gary LeRoi Gray) and Miller (Eugena
Washington) investigate, and since Joseph appears the last person Gerald
has called, they also question him - but he throws them out, trying to
avoid at all costs that his co-workers find out he and Gerald had an
affair. So initially the detective have little to go on - until Joseph
ends up murdered as well, and from what's found in his bag it's not long
before they find out he was a drag performer after hours, and a very
popular one at that. And piecing together the puzzle suddenly becomes a
lot easier - until a key player makes a disappearing act ...
Quite a fascinating build-up to a promising whodunnit, one
that tells its story on many levels, some not even integrated into the
main plot yet, and by moving backwards and forwards in time quite
effortlessly to slowly piecing together an interesting puzzle. And even
though the audience is quite a bit more in the know than the detectives on
screen, everything is still pretty much a guessing game that basically
makes one hungry for Part Two - especially after a pretty cool
cliffhanger ending.
