Synopsis

Two men, haunted by their past, cross paths where the desert meets the sky in Big Bend National Park.

Nothing would ever be the same for Michael Anderson, a renowned San Diego surgeon, after losing an eight-year-old girl on the operating table. He blamed himself, rightfully, having stayed out the night before indulging his whims in San Diego’s exotic gay nightlife.

A half continent away, Justin Brooks left his bride-to-be standing at the alter when he ran from the church as if it were full of vampires. A pariah in his hometown, he left in a fog of guilt and self-doubt, and found solace as a park ranger in the vast desert wilderness of far west Texas.

When Justin spotted David in a secluded camp on the Rio Grande River, a friendship was born. Fragile at first, both men at odds with themselves, the friendship became a bond as one day fell upon another. They found peace in the whispering hues and textures of the arid land, as Justin grappled with his sexuality and David resisted his calling as a doctor. Together, they took stones from the riverbed to add a room to their small house, learning more and more of themselves and each other; together they found a new horizon. They loved the haunting desert solitude, the mountains and the sunsets and the poetry of the land, and they loved each other. Michael, beset with increasing pressure to revive his skills as a doctor, couldn’t find the courage to accept the responsibility. Not until he and Justin faced losing everything, did both realize yet another destiny in the Big Bend, though neither could have foreseen the peril they would live through first.

A tale of renewed dreams, of sensual adventure and the mystery of two men falling in love, A Song in the Park is a celebration of human diversity and discovering the simple things in life that matter.
