"Wanna pair of shorts? Shot of G? Line of Meth?"

From surgeons to students, couples to kink; guys that love it and lost guys longing to be loved. An original look into a drug-fuelled, hedonistic, highly secret world of Chem-Sex, Grindr and instant gratification.

"It's beautifully done, bold and it tackles the issues that hit home. Race, HIV, drugs, sex, love, intimacy, lust and pain...in a very sensitive and even funny way" - Gay Times
