Derek Stusynski

September 8, 1999. In the wake of Columbine, the death of Matthew Shepard and the Lewinsky scandal and on the heels of O.J., McVeigh and the Gulf War, six juniors at an elite performing arts college in Westchester County, New York struggle to survive in the face of a never-ending battle with sex, drugs, dating, loneliness and regret. The RAs is the story of a generation - one that predates Facebook, a generation of beepers and chat rooms, when life was simpler but no less complicated and September 11 was just another day.

In Eden, a society where homosexuality is seen as not only a sin but also a disease, a longstanding government agency detains and imprisons homosexuals in an institution where they are experimented on, to cure them of their homosexuality.
