Ken always seems to be traveling when it's time to meet Dylan's friends. Dylan accepts this part-time relationship until his 23rd birthday when, after an argument, Ken takes off early in the morning and vanishes. Dylan follows Ken’s trail to Phoenix, where he discovers that his lover has another lover, the sexy, earthy Demetrius Stone (Jeff Castle). Dylan and Demetrius are forced together to discover what happened to Ken and what happened to their relationships with him. While figuring out what happened and what went wrong these two guys do what gay guys seem to have a penchant for, they jump in bed. Their sex is hot, passionate and healing.

Phoenix is a movie that it could be one of my favorite of ever if not for a little small detail... The two main characters are beautiful and tender, Dylan is so cute that I almost have always a smile when he was on scene. You can't avoid to heart for him when he again and again prepares his little nest for the soul mates he so desperately is searching. He is soo young and so open to be hurt. Again the movie is a small budget one, the setting is so empty and cold, but really, I believe that Chad Edward Bartley made a very good job with his role. Pity for the end (the small detail I don't like), but probably it's a right end, since Dylan is so young and has still so many road ahead of him.
