Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
Prolific gay-cinema icon Todd Verow directs and stars in this independent thriller centered on a treacherous love triangle, and inspired by actual events. Handsome bartender Rick (Brad Hallowell) has just met young lovers Mike (Brett Faulkner) and Jay (Verow) when Mike invites him to spend the weekend at Jay's secluded retreat on Tumbledown Mountain. Jealous of the intense connection between Rick and Mike, Jay bides his time, and plots his revenge. A few weeks later, Jay invites Rick back to Tumbledown Mountain to spend some more time with himself and Mike. When Rick arrives, however, Mike is nowhere to be found. Jay's plan to corner Rick alone has worked precisely as planned, but the true extent of his diabolical deception won't become clear until Rick receives a mysterious videotape in the mail a few weeks later - revealing a secret so disturbing that it chills the smitten bartender to his very core.
