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.
