The Delta

Lincoln, who's not
yet 18, leads a straight life most of the time: he has a girl
friend, goes to dances, jokes with guys. But he also has a secret
life, in which he's drawn to dark places where he has sex with
men he doesn't know. One night, while visiting a gay video arcade,
he connects with John, a Vietnamese-born gay man, in his 20s
probably, whose father was an African-American US soldier. John
invites Lincoln to spend some carefree time with him, and Lincoln
takes him to his father's boat. John then convinces Lincoln
to take the boat into the Mississippi delta, where setting off
some fireworks out of season precipitates betrayal and revenge.
