Out of the Shadows. Henri, a lonely and isolated young man, keeps everyone at a distance until a street hustler draws him out of his shell. The sudden attraction plunges Henri into a fierce, unreciprocated gay obsession; his unfulfilled lust builds until it explosively erupts in tragic, destructive consequences.
