When rural sweet dreams collide with LA's sweaty, complicated heat.
A tale of love, wanderlust, and everything that comes with leaving the 'safe' world of rural domestic happiness for the heat and energy of a slightly dark City of Angels. Featuring the combined talents of Arpad Miklos, Trey Casteel, Chad Hunt, CJ Madison, Brett Matthews, Steve Cruz, Ken Browning, and newcomer Sergio Anthony, Drifter is a sexually intense journey of longing, loss, and betrayal on the scorching streets of L.A. and in the line-dried sweetness of the sticks.
