A playboy learns to love, while a virgin learns to live -- a queer romantic comedy set inside the restaurant industry...

When John discovers his sister's fiance is Jack, his childhood crush, passions ignite and his life spirals out of control... losing his job, his playboy reputation and his underwear, all while rushing to the altar to finally confess his love!
