When Jacob offers to be his private acting coach, Chris feels like he’s just won the lottery. He has no reason to believe that these private acting lessons are going to become so much more. Soon, he finds himself with intense and confusing feelings for Jacob. They make no sense. Chris has never been into guys before. Things haven’t been going that well for Jacob. After a few small roles, he’s starting to find himself with no work again. Soon, he’s tempted to fall back into old habits. A few random encounters make him believe that maybe he and his new friend Chris are more than just friends, but Jacob knows enough about straight boys. He needs to steer clear of him if he doesn’t want a world of pain. Chris’ allure is far too much, though, and soon he finds himself in an explosive relationship. With Chris’ crazy ex and a whole lot of his own past that he would like to hide, Jacob is pretty sure that this relationship isn’t going to work out in the long-term. Maybe if Chris can get a handle on the situation with his ex, Jacob would be more inclined to stick around. At least, Chris hopes so.
