Summary
Mike, hard-up for money after he and his sisters moved to New York in 1993 and with a creative writing degree he doesn’t know what to do with, starts working on the set of a new movie as a script-writer and gets a second job as the assistant for a modeling company just trying to afford rent.
The problem? Well, there’s someone familiar - and someone gorgeous - on the set of both. Will Byers, only recently recruited as both a model and actor, is working on both of Mike’s sets. Which is unfortunate, because Mike can’t stand nepo babies, and as Will’s brother Jonathan is working as one of the photographers and videographers for both, that’s what he clearly is. (Little does he know that Will honestly hates it and just wants to paint sets, but can’t refuse the money because of his family’s bad financial situation.)
As they work together more, though, Mike finds himself questioning a lot, ranging from what he wants in life to his sexuality to if the only thing he wants from Will is what they've got - will he figure it out, or not? Read to find out!
