“The Boy and the Balloon” is a psychological drama, following Peter as his mind unravels over the course of his boyfriend’s birthday party. The film shines light on the dynamic of a gay couple in an open relationship, and explores the dark corners of insecurity, love, and sex.
Focusing on a Narcotics Enforcement Agency that works to target specific drug dealers and manufacturers intending to impact and reduce street level drug activity, the series follows Jacob Phillips, an out gay agent. Dealing with the notion of what it means to take care of someone else, Jacob tries to find a balance in his feelings of allegiance to his job, a codependent friendship and a new man in his life. In a place where the “good guys” get to identify how someone defines themselves, Jacob tries to find out if it is even possible to be a hero.
