Synopsis

edit

"Two successful women, sick and tired of dating and relationships, decide to keep two young men in their pool house for strictly sexual purposes."

In Los Angeles, the wealthy aspiring writer Donna and her best friend, an aspiring designer, Christi Ann are bored of relationships and decide to chase two escorts in a bar for a one-night stand. Meanwhile, construction workers and best friends, Stanny and Joe, come from New York but can't find jobs in Los Angeles. Without money, the guys decide to go to a fancy bar to drink and leave the place without paying the bill. Donna and Christi Ann meet Stanny and Joe and invite them home believing they are gigolos. After a night of sex, the women discover the misunderstanding and that the men are, indeed, unemployed construction workers. The women offer to have the men stay in their swimming pool cabana, furnishing them with beer and food while the boys search for jobs. In return, they would be their on-call "boy-toys" in a strictly sexual relationship. During the ensuing months, the couples become closer and change their feelings and behaviors with the development and growing of their relationships as the couples begin to develop romantic feelings.
