EBAN AND CHARLEY

After his parents get divorced, and he loses his beloved mother to a drunk driver, 15-year-old Charley goes to live in a lonely seaside town with his overly strict, military-man father. During one grim Christmas break, he finds comfort in the companionship of 29-year-old Eban, a schoolteacher home visiting his folks.

When Eban and Charley’s friendship deepens into intimacy, both guys' families condemn it and threaten to call the police.  With tensions high, and the stakes even higher, Eban and Charley face the most dangerous decision of all.
