A routine trick at a man's apartment propels a cynical hustler into a series of strange and
life-changing encounters. Tall and lanky with a mop of unruly dark hair, the young
man makes for an attractive prostitute. But this coldly efficient rent boy begins to look at
himself in a different way one stormy night when he finds himself lost in a maze-like
apartment building. The evening begins with a tryst with a beefy but timid man unused to
gay sex. Their "session" becomes surprisingly tender for both. But time is money, and he's
off" that is, he'd be off if he could find the exit. His unexpected odyssey leads him to a
series of encounters: there is one with a "straight" guy with issues; a cocaine-fueled
queen who thinks he knows him; and a lonely young man who thinks he's finally found a
connection with someone. Sex is the commonality, but out of that commodity comes raw,
unguarded emotions for all, even for the hustler. USA, 2010, 95 mins.
