Banished from his middle-class family because of the older woman that he loves, we find 19 year-old optimistic hero Marcus and his 24 year-old girlfriend Zander deeply in love, but poverty-stricken. Even without a high-school diploma, the motivated young Marcus builds his hopes and future dreams around the small salary he receives from a fast-food management-training program. While turning a blind-eye to the monetary gains that his girlfriend acquires from other men, Marcus succumbs to a belief that they are in a temporary situation. But when it rains, it pours, and Marcus finds himself a victim of life and unforeseen circumstances as he loses his job. Caught between what defines you, and what you would and would not do for money, Marcus is forced into the sex game, where the only buyers are male.
