New Men: Innocence Lost
Filled with abundant idealism and hope, Kevin, Miguel, and Anthony are thrust into a world of deception and political intrigue. In a Roman seminary, dreams crumble under the weight of corruption and sexual tension. Faith is eclipsed by ecclesial power, and friendships are tossed into a rollercoaster of romance and guilt. Independent spirits conflict with the time-honored traditions of the Vatican. New Men is a story of disillusionment, sexual awakening, and self-discovery. Journey with the New Men as they explore their true desires.
