Synopsis

In this second installment of the successful "Donald Strachey Mysteries", based on author Richard Stevenson's much-loved book series, the tough private eye Donald Strachey (Chad Allen) finds his latest client dead - an apparent suicide! But Albany's favorite gay detective smells a rat and decides to take matters into his own hands.

With the help of his straight-laced but adoring husband Tim (Sebastian Spence) and his occasionally too-eager assistant Kenny (Nelson Wong), Strachey's investigation leads him on a dark and dangerous trail into the world of "gay conversion therapy" - a twisted mix of psychology and religion designed by Dr Trevor Cornell (Michael Woods) to turn homosexuals "straight".

Also starring pop culture icon Morgan Fairchild as a wealthy socialite with a few secrets of her own, , is sure to leave even the most jaded audiences in "shock"...
