Gutter Boys

Gutterboys is a twisted tale of steamy gay sex and unrequited love in Lower Manhattan in the early 1980s. Filled with scenes of debauchery and explicitly depicted gay sex, this wanton outing portrays a carnal world of orgiastic delights that may never exist again. Jeremy, a shy 19-year-old, falls madly in love with Colin, a disturbed yet brilliant older hustler. Though Colin rejects Jeremy as a lover, he takes him on as a proté gé , introducing him to the hilariously depraved world of new-wave nightclubs and gay bars in the days before AIDS and the war on drugs. Innocent Jeremy, protected by the spirits of his beloved dead grandmothers - one a fiery Jewish socialist, the other a proper British matron - becomes increasingly unstable under the strain of his unreturned love. When Jeremy finally snaps, he reaches an understanding with Colin that he never anticipated.
