Thibodeaux, a young gay San Franciscan, yearns to reject his parents' hedonistic ways. But when his emerging sexual desires repeatedly get the better of him, he conjures up twisted, self-repressive rationalizations that threaten to drive away his friends and the hunky, mythic man of his dreams.
A Lower Power is the debut feature-length film directed by Robert O'Geen. It touches on questions of faith and the nature of luck as it tracks a boy's tunnel vision to a (literally) climactic revelation that his urges aren't nearly as dangerous as denying them.
