Cronus

by Jonathan D. Robbins

Estranged from his family, Christian O'Keefe begrudgingly attends his boyfriend's brother's destination wedding in Sedona, Arizona—which goes to hell when the groom and his family learn the bride and hers brought along a deadly virus.

With the venue transformed into a quarantine site, battle lines emerge down the wedding aisle as two American families from completely different worlds consider which rules are optional, and which aren't.

Morbidity aside, Cronus is a queer coming-of-age comedy that drags into daylight the ugly repercussions of generational trauma, psychological abuse, religious indoctrination, and other toxic family behaviors that aren't funny, but trigger laughter like an autoimmune response nonetheless.
