Finding romance among the auto mechanics and the artists!
A mechanic with a chain of successful garages and a lonely life, Dan strives to provide opportunities to young, hardworking guys to help them avoid the wrong turns he took in his own life. He's half-closeted, not advertising his orientation, not lying about it, and not dating, so it hardly matters. Until he meets Trent -- or meets Trent again.
Trent is a recent grad, a struggling photographer with an empty wallet and bills to pay. He lets Dan believe he's a prostitute, and even when he starts having feelings for Dan, he can't reveal his lie.
An old friend and partner turned enemy is trying to ruin Dan's business by spreading stories about Dan's sexual orientation and his relationships to his employees. Everything's threatened by their secrets and lies.
Dan and Trent are about to learn: you can reinvent the past and lie about the present, but you can't build a future out of all these spare parts.
