Jay is a barely legal runaway who needs someone to show him how to survive in LA. Simon is a hard-edged Brit who reluctantly takes Jay on rather than watch him do something that might get him killed. As they learn to know, and love, each other, Jay finds out a lot about Simon's past, about how Simon likes to feel the whip and about what it will take for he and Simon to become a real couple.
Simon learns a lot from Jay, too. He learns that strength takes more than one form, that Jay needs to deal with his family issues, and that when you love someone, you keep them. Even if it’s the hardest thing he’s ever had to do.
