SYNOPSIS Sharp and sexy, this quartet of short films is about African-American men living secret homo lives on the downlow. Perfect casting, witty writing and tight direction characterize these captivating films made for Here! that have plenty of man-to-man action. REVIEW The DL Chronicles are tightly and professionally made stories as real as can be. In the first episode, Wes rushes home to a dinner party that his powerful wife is throwing. Imagine his surprise when he meets his brother-in-law, Trent, for the first time and he feels the stirrings of lust. Wes tries to bottle up his homo desires by drinking heavily during the meal. Not exactly the correct formula for repressing emotions, Wes sneaks into Trent's bed and some hot, very secret man-to-man action follows. In the second episode we meet Robert, a closeted talent agent who never sleeps with the same man twice. Robert hooks up with Austin, the manager of a health food store who's twenty years younger than him. But of course this won't be an isolated fuck; what kind of drama would that be? The two men meet again in an Internet sex chat-room, and Austin convinces him to give their relationship a chance. Robert falls hard for his new boyfriend, but now there's a young lady in the picture whose needs come first. In the third segment, a "playa" named Boo has his way with just about anything that moves and discovers that sleeping around can have some pretty nasty consequences. These first three films are so delicious that we can't wait for more of these sexy tales about men on the downlow.
