The story
Julian Kaye is a high-end male escort in Los Angeles whose clientele consists primarily of upper-class, older women.
Afterward, he goes to the hotel's bar and approaches Michelle Stratton, believing her to be a potential client.
Leon, a pimp with whom Julian occasionally collaborates on high-paying assignments, asks him to substitute for another escort on a job in Palm Springs.
