Two gay men's viewpoints alternate in this story: Cole has built up a company in LA that provides a positive spin for sex workers. Teddy is known for being the "Plant Daddy," having built up a his business selling plants online and later in a brick and mortar store in New York. At least until his divorce, when his ex-husband's rich family sues him and takes away the building his shop is located in, alleging that he cooked his financial records. Teddy is broke and planning to move back to Louisiana in a few days, when his best friend/roommate Kit takes him out for a drink and Teddy meets Cole, who is in New York for his sister's wedding. There is an instant connection between the two men, although Teddy's frayed Target clothing is no match for Cole's Armani suits.
The two men, while attracted, are also each nursing emotional wounds. Because Cole's sister worries about him being without a partner, Cole suggests a win-win situation: he will pay Teddy to be his partner and go with him to his sister's wedding. This includes a clothing allowance to fit the occasion. A strong Pretty Woman vibe is going on here, which includes a measure of conflict that I'm not exactly sure makes sense. And lots of sex. The best thing was these men (and their friends) demonstrate gay relationships‒whether as partners or friends‒in a perfectly likeable way.
