Title: Bridge across the ocean
Description: Derek, a black gay man with HIV, just wants some R&R in Cancun, Mexico. Rob and Skeeter, two straight, white, teenage brothers, just want to hang around him every waking moment, sailing in the Caribbean, playing basketball and looking for aliens in the tropical night sky. Derek doesn't mind. He's downright flattered and having the time of his life. He's also falling for the oldest brother, who's only sixteen, very naive, and would probably do anything Derek asked of him. It's a dilemma that threatens to ruin Derek's peaceful getaway in a summer that will change all their lives forever. XY Magazine calls Bridge Across the Ocean “a great escape and very important work.” Inspired by a true story.
