Byron is out for what passes for a date with JoJo when choreographer Cole Black keeps him from toppling off the curb and into traffic. By the time he and Cole are properly introduced, JoJo is halfway down the block with his gang, heading to another club. Byron goes to dinner with Cole instead. The next morning, it's clear something needs to change. Cole is fascinated by his new man's not-quite-previous relationship and not at all averse to meeting the much-younger actor. Cole is new to LA but has a lot of connections in the industry. If JoJo needs a hand, why not offer one? Especially when it becomes clear Byron isn't ready to pull the plug completely. Byron's mild case of breakup guilt gets serious when he and Cole learn exactly how JoJo gets by. Between the two of them, they can make up for some of the ways Byron failed the younger man. Along the way, they discover JoJo is just what they need. The only question is does he need them the same way?
