Synopsis
A provocative tale of a struggling novelist who resorts to extreme measures in order to provide for his family. Also stars Olivia Williams and Academy Award® winner James Coburn. Becoming a successful writer remains an elusive dream for Byron Tiller. No longer able to pay the bills, worried about his family's livelihood and seeing no other option, he reluctantly seeks employment at Elysian Fields-an upscale male escort service. But as Byron slowly succumbs to the demands of the job-and his own desires-a destructive pattern of deception threatens the very thing that he sought to protect...his family. - Gold Circle Films
