HALFWAY HOME

HALFWAY HOME
Paul Monette

Halfway Home is a passionate story of two American brothers: one gay, one straight, one facing Aids, the other on the run for his life. Their destinies collide on the rocky Californian coast. Tom Shaheen has abandoned his career as a performance artist - Miss Jesus, the drag Messiah - and withdrawn to a remote beach house where he sees only a few close friends. His retreat is shattered by the sudden arrival of his hated brother Brian, former football hero and successful businessman, but now pursued by the mob. In a reversal of roles, Brian now depends on his brother for survival.
