Based on the short stories of Bruce LaBruce, Sugar is a provocative, challenging and bizarrely funny coming-of-age story set on the crystal-caked streets of downtown Toronto.
On the eve of his 18th birthday, Cliff's (Andre Noble) 12-year-old sister Cookie sends him downtown with a skateboard, a spliff and a direct order to get laid.
During the night, Cliff meets handsome hustler Butch (Brendan Fehr) and is quickly initiated into the hilariously dark and drug-fuelled arena of life downtown. The boys eventually discover the perks and perils of each other's worlds; their friendship evolves into romance, yet the notion of intimacy is foreign to them both.
Cliff longs for intimacy, but Butch's drug abuse and self-loathing soon eats away at their relationship, and the two boys part company to tragic results...
