They Glow in the Dark (work in progress)

Michael and Jim are two middle-aged gay friends who have drifted apart for more than twenty years. When Michael finally tracks Jim down, he realizes his old friend has moved back in with his parents and is now unemployed and suffering from AIDS, his life literally in ruins. But Michael’s got an idea: He suggests they join forces and move to New Orleans, his absolute favorite city, where he spent many happy years turning tricks after he run away from home. Arriving in town straight after Katrina, they sell hand-crafted dolls for a living and despite their complicated pasts, health issues and financial woes, they find the strength to move and take it one day at a time, like two comets that glow in the dark before they take a dip in the astral plane and disappear forever.
