PREP PLAY, OR BLUE PARACHUTE
Erik, a typical modern-day gay millennial immigrant, is suddenly sent back to the 80s in the midst of the AIDS crisis in New York, due to a strange side-effect of an HIV prevention drug (PrEP). He must work with his boyfriend Bryant, an older gay man who lived through the 80s, to fix a troubling past in order to find his way back home. What can you do when you are given a chance to rewrite history? And how can you do it when you know nothing about it? A contemporary queer fantasia in the age of globalism and PrEP.
