Shock to the System: A Donald Strachey Mystery[Feature]
(2006, 91 min) When
hard boiled private eye Donald Strachey (Chad Allen) finds his latest client
dead, an apparent suicide,
Albanys
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 Callahan
(Sebastian Spence) and his occasionally too-eager assistant Kenny Kwon (Nelson

the world of "gay conversion therapy" - a twisted mix of psychology
and religion designed by Dr. Trevor Cornell (Michael Woods) to turn homosexuals
"straight". With a cast of sexy young suspects at the heart of the
mystery, and a standout performance from pop culture icon Morgan Fairchild as a
wealthy socialite with a few secrets of her own, this second installment of the
successful "Donald Strachey Mysteries", based on author Richard
Stevensons much-loved book series, is sure to leave even the most jaded
audiences in "shock."More...
