Season 1 Episode Guide
6 Episodes 2021 - 2022
Episode 1
Sebastian
15 mins
After ten years as a couple, X and Andrew have to navigate their lives following their break-up, especially as they have decided still to live together for financial reasons. For X, the obvious reality is that he has to earn money again, he returning to the one and only job he knows, as an escort, albeit one ten years older and hopefully wiser. One of his first jobs is being among the stable of working males for a bachelor party, he a good decade older than most of those working there. He finds that while there are guys who are still looking for men and not boys, he is largely out of touch with today's current realities. He is unofficially taken under the wing of much younger Chayce, who sees in X someone both who needs help but also off of who he himself could benefit financially if X only had the right connections and branding.
Episode 2
Larry Shippers
12 mins
X negotiates with Chayce about their working relationship, while Chayce, upon meeting him, would like to add Andrew to his stable of men, both professionally and personally. To increase X's profile overall, Chayce arranges as his next date who is probably the most famous person with who he will have had sex (on the assumption that it gets to that point). That person is not a closeted straight actor as he expects, but someone he doesn't know, namely Larry Shippers who is all over social media, his brand as a gay best friend, but who still wants to keep certain parts of his private life his own. While Chayce's rationale in setting up the date is that Larry will show X the power of social media, X will show Larry what remains behind closed doors should not matter to anyone except those in the room.
Episode 3
Trey
12 mins
Andrew confesses to X his deepest fear about his current life, out of which he does not know how to get himself. X in return can only offer support which for Andrew is little comfort. Meanwhile, X has his first in-call in his return to being an escort. Such dates he finds can be fraught with problems in the location being his home which should be his sanctuary but which the client may not respect as such. He only changed his policy to allow in-calls in Chayce convincing him that they are a necessary evil of the job in clients often wanting discretion away from their own home. The date doesn't quite turn out the way X even imagined could happen in Trey, in a client paying for services, wanting something that X doesn't know he can provide, and which ends up affecting his relationship with Andrew.
Episode 4
Sarah
Tue, Nov 7, 2023 13 mins
X and Andrew have to clear the air further about X's in-call job with Trey, which still haunts Andrew. Meanwhile, Chayce has another client for X. X is cautious as the call is in the suburbs, those clients who don't hide the fact of an escort knocking on their front door to his neighbors usually the sign of an overconfident a**-hole. X is surprised by who answers the door. It isn't the fact of the plastic sheet on the living room floor which makes it look like a murder scene about to happen that surprises him the most. This job ends up being a series of firsts for him, including accepting a drink from the client, it which he needs to help him relax into the situation.
Episode 5
Charlie

While out by himself at a time he would usually be doing other things, Andrew runs into a casual acquaintance. While each of the two would like their encounter to go in a way contrary to the other, one of the two is able to take control generally to his end. Andrew, however, could probably admit that the encounter did assist in clearing some nagging issues. Meanwhile, X is on a work date arranged by himself (i.e. not by Chayce) in what he considers the most unoriginal setup: the unlocked door, this time in a hotel room, with the anonymous hookup, however that anonymity plays itself out. He is never surprised by how that anonymity manifests itself, this time his client dictating things from behind a further locked bathroom door, and through a computer generated voice, said computer on the desk filming X. If he is able to get his client eventually to show himself, X may indeed not have anticipated how the encounter goes.
Episode 6
Harris

The latest thing Chayce is able to convince X to do to increase his exposure is join him at his booth at the gay comic book convention, they, dressed as gay superheroes, open for jobs including sexual. While X is skeptical of the idea, they do get what Chayce said he always does, a sex job in their superhero personae, this one for the two of them together. In apprehending their "bad guy" client, X has to decide how far he is willing to go in his own idea of safe sex in the client wanting it raw, something that has always been a red line for him. In the process, X comes to an epiphany about his relationship with Andrew. In earlier speaking to Chayce, Andrew has also come to an epiphany about his life stemming back to X. The question becomes whether these two epiphanies are compatible with each other.
