'''''Mysterious Skin''''' is a 2005 drama film (though produced in 2004) directed by Gregg Araki, who specializes in avant-garde films about homosexual relationships. It is [[Film of the Book|based on the novel of the same name]] by Scott Heim.
 
At eight years of age, Neil McCormick (portrayed by Chase Ellison as a boy and [[Joseph Gordon -Levitt]] as a teen) discovers he is homosexual, developing an obsession with his mother's boyfriends and the men in her ''Playgirl'' magazines. He develops a crush on his baseball coach (Bill Sarge), who takes advantage and starts seducing him. One stormy night, an incident happens...
 
Several years later, Neil has grown up into a teen and has became a gay hustler. Meanwhile, another teen named Brian Lackey (George Webster as a boy and Brady Corbet as a teen) who is obsessed with [[Alien Abduction|alien abduction conspiracy theories]] is trying to piece together his past. He cannot remember the events of several hours in his youth, and he assumes that during this time, aliens had abducted him.
