Padrig Kennedy returns home
from a holiday with friends, to find his partner in bed with another man. It's
a story as old as boy meets boy. Devastated, Pad, as he is known to his
friends, flees the scene and straight into the grasp of a truly evil man, who
through a combination of drugs and coercion, remakes Padrig from a regular guy
into a for profit cum-dump for anyone willing to pay. Prostitution is too
genteel a word for what Pad endures at the hands of his captors.
Rudyard Kipling wrote that
the sins we do two-by-two, we pay for, one by one. Of course this suggests some
sort of Divine interference, which, in Sins
of Another, shows up in the person of a mysterious benefactor. As if by
magic, Pad is rescued from his hellish existence (one could hardly call it a
life) only to find that he is infected with HIV. This is not surprising
considering his months of sexual captivity. So far, the story beats a well-worn
path, until Pad finds life is indeed, worth living.
In Sins of Another, Jessica Skye Davies takes on faith—faith in one's
self; hope, that in the face of loss and devastation, all need not be forsaken;
love, the love that passes between men, transcending the carnal; and choices. It
is in Pad's choosing love freely offered, hope for a better tomorrow, and faith
that he will one day be whole again that draws him to be, at last, at peace.
One need not to have lived
promiscuously, either by chance or choice, nor suffer the ravages of HIV/AIDS,
nor be betrayed by a loved one to relate, on at least some level, to the human
impulse to live, to love and to survive.
