One Christmas, he waits for Neil to come home from New York City, so that he can find out what really happened to him. Brian thinks that the reason he doesn’t remember his blackouts is because he was abducted by aliens in UFOs. Neil grows up to be a cynical, angry and abusive male prostitute, while Brian has buried the memories of his two incidents of abuse from the same man, a Little League baseball coach.
MYSTERIOUS SKIN is about two sexually abused boys, Neil and Brian.
