When layoffs hit Jim LaRue's company, his first concern isn't for his own job, it's for his friend and coworker, Tommy Graves. Tommy's going through a bitter divorce, and he's closing on a new home. Losing his job would mean losing the house -- and the fresh start he desperately needs. Jim can't let that happen to the man he's secretly in love with, so he proposes a swap: his job for Tommy's.
Now out of work, Jim reluctantly agrees to help Tommy remodel. He needs the income, but he can't stand being a charity case -- especially not when things between them start heading in a direction he hardly dared hope for. The strain drives a wedge between them, and a confrontation might spell the end of their relationship.
