Review

Jet is the star attraction at a Hong Kong hustler bar where his good looks allow him great clothes, money but no true love. That is, until he spots the tall dreamboat Sam, a hunky and seemingly straight policeman. The cool, stylish Jet becomes a mess with his crush on the polite but aloof Sam. But persistence pays off and the two not only friends but lovers as well, all under the naïve eyes of Sam’s doting parents. But something gnaws at the heart of the always upstanding, faithful and dependable Sam. And we soon discover the reasons. For Sam harbors a darker side as well, one which includes a youthful sexual escapade with a sexy rock star, an affair with another coworker and an involvement with a public sexual scandal! It is within this cauldron of repressed emotions and secrets that drive our heroes. Will Jet learn of the true Sam and continue to love him? Will Sam reconcile his physical desire with his unnatural need to be “perfect”? Will Sam’s parents understand their son’s secrets? Will Jet’s flamboyant friends at the bar help him through his turmoil? And why is rent boy Ching suffering so? Will the outcome be harmony or tragedy? A delightfully involving and funny soap opera.
