Henry also comes into contact with Dexter (Eric Schweig), the Native American proprietor of a local general store.

I bought this movie on the recommendation of a friend and I'm really pleased that I bought it.First of all, the plot is really unlike any other gay movie I've seen. It's not set in the city (NY, LA, SF etc) and has zero muscleboys in the cast, but it's one of the best-cast and acted movies in a long time.A great date movie, for sure, but also an interesting view into what life could and will be like one day in the not-so-distant future when being gay is just another part of the cultural makeup of …
