Full plot (contains spoilers)

Aaron Eagle, a Los Angeles camboy, is hired for a $50,000 session with a masked client. During a series of personal questions, Aaron reveals details of his life in Maine and his career in sex work. The tension peaks when Aaron unmasks the client, discovering it is his former middle school teacher, Hank Grant. Hank, a pederast who served time in prison, reveals he traveled to Los Angeles specifically to find Aaron, whom he viewed as a lonely boy. The two engage in a complex physical and emotional encounter, discussing their pasts, including Hank's history of abuse and Aaron's life in the sex industry. Hank eventually confesses that he never truly had a change of heart regarding a past crime. The next morning, Hank leaves for Maine, leaving Aaron with the remaining money and old yearbook photos of their youth together.
