Richard LeMay's directorial debut is a quirky American indie, with subtle acting and unexpected plot twists that dispel cliches about its subject matter. Conrad is a successful CEO at an ad agency whose lover has left him due to his overwhelming tendency to be a control freak. Though an attractive man, Conrad opts to hire a prostitute for sex rather than risk emotional involvement, but when Ian arrives at his door he is unable to understand why such a nice boy chooses to sell himself for a living. Consequently, Conrad offers the hot Aussie hustler a job at his agency in exchange for bi-weekly sexual favors. The complications that ensue for both men attempting to navigate the sticky territory of money, sex, and love, are both amusing and highly moving. (official distributor synopsis)
