CGiii Comment
Amateur camera work, indulgent and contrived writing, plastic acting.
A serious subject, ex-gay therapy, almost trivialised.
A plodding expose on psychologists/therapists - the only conclusion that this film provides is that they all should lose their licenses to practice. What a surprise!!!
Nonsense and very annoying.

The(ir) Blurb...
Gay journalist, Frank Johnston sets out to write an expose on Dr. Apsey, a therapist who claims to convert gays to straight. Enlisted by his psychotherapist boyfriend, Jonathan, Frank finds that Apsey may not necessarily be a quack, after all. The reason for Frank's seeing Apsey becomes blurred is it for the article or for personal reasons? As Frank falls under Apsey's spell, his relationship with Jonathan deteriorates, and a fierce psychological tug of war erupts between the two persuasive doctors over the heart of mind of Frank. Frank must make decisions that eventually explode the lives of all of them.
