He dreams of being reunited with Jorge, who will protect him from the torments of his daily life.</p><p>But sometimes dreams can turn into nightmares . . .</p><p>Loosely inspired by John Steinbeck's <em>Of Mice and Men</em>, <em>Glen Affric </em>is a profound story about differences, friendship, and the power of love to withstand abuse and oppression-a story that plunges us into the darkest recesses of the human soul and introduces us to characters we'll never forget.</p>
