Imagine you are a gay man approaching mid-life in the Silicon Valley: disillusioned, unhappy, bored with life. You have a monotonous job and can count your friends on one hand; you have given up on finding love for good. Along comes the perfect man: an Australian hunk. He is intelligent, witty, suave, well-bred and stunningly good-looking. Only problem: he is straight. Nevertheless a friendship develops based on a common interest in fitness, books, philosophical speculation... and a strange sexual tension. He makes you a witness to his conquests of women. Step by step he gains control over you, and the relationship changes...until one day, disaster strikes...
