And in "My Best Friend Zeke", a gay sophomore named Johnny, who's tired of one-night stands, gets the surprise of his life while helping his best friend Zeke crew a sailboat from the Bahamas to Florida. Zeke's handsome cousin Paul is also on board for the trip. Is there a reason Zeke brings Paul and Johnny together? .
