The film stars Tom Blyth as Lucas, a young police officer in New York state who’s recruited for his looks and youthful charm to join a special task force. His job? Frequent gay cruising spots to lure and arrest men who try to hook up with him. But everything changes when Lucas encounters Andrew, played by Russell Tovey.
