Mark (Chad Allen), a gay young man, is shipped off to a center that advertises it can "cure" people of their desires for those of the same sex. When Mark arrives at Genesis House, he is put under the charge of a strict couple, Gayle (Arron Shiver) and Ted (Colin Jones). Gayle, who has dealt with her own demons, soon senses Mark is getting too close to another resident, Scott (David Petruzzi) -- and she will do anything to ensure the boys don't cross the line.

Jeff Shannon Seattle Times Dec 19, 2008
2.5/4

As a movie, it doesn't amount to much more than an after school-special with sex and profanity. Go to Full Review
