The Cure
Dexter, age11, who has AIDS, and Eric, his next-door neighbor, who is somewhat older and significantly larger, become great friends. Eric becomes closer to Dexter's mother than to his own mother, who is inattentive and intolerant and fiercely condemns their friendship when she discovers it. Dexter and Erik set off in search of "The Cure," which they had read about in the local newspaper.
