Dying Breed, The

Dying Breed, The
Mark and Paula have had a rather morbid history with pets-the pedigree is long and there are no survivors-but when it's revealed exactly why they've been so intent on owning an animal and what happened to their most recent one, they learn something about their own breed that may be too painful to bear.

Wild Animals You Should Know

Synopsis:
Matthew and Jacob are an unlikely pair of friends. Matthew is a soccer star, full of brio and teenage swagger. Jacob is, well, not. Beneath the surface, though, the two are locked in an innocently erotic game of cat and mouse. When Matthew's reluctant father, Walter, is wrangled by his wife Marsha into chaperoning the boys' trip to a wilderness scout camp, he finds himself drawn into their adolescent game. But Matthew has secretly decided just how far he's willing to go for his final act of scouting and everyone might do well to heed the scouts' motto: Be Prepared.
