In order to try and escape an arranged politically driven marriage Lucas (Andrei Prunila) lies to his father, Albert (Sean McHugh), his arranged father in-law, the corrupt Senator Maverick Thompson (Jeffery Thomas Johnson), and his arranged bride Sophia Thompson (Bri Ana Wagner), that he is actually gay and engaged to his non-existant boyfriend, who after walking in on the mess that is ensuing is declared to be Wyatt (Michael Naizu) who is actually a secret agent working undercover to investigate the corruption going on at Lucas' dads company, Crypto Coin. Despite the deception, secrets, and crimes, Lucas and Wyatt inevitably fall in love for real and face the dangers head on together to save the company and his dad.
This was my first vertical series, and well, the rest is history as they say. This series has everything from cringey dancing, heart warming love scenes, corruption, lies, and hilarious scenes. Andrei Prunila is excellent in his role as Lucas, encapsulating the awkward young man who is having a VERY unplanned sexual awakening perfectly all while trying to save his dad and his company. Michael Naizu had me cackling out loud my first watch through, and the 900 times I have watched since then! And the use on innuendo was top tier.
I loved the way this series managed to include so many different facets, from the homophobic senator who secretly has boys massage a please him. Through to gangs, financial corruption and wrongful imprisonment all while we are watching these two men fumble their way together and somehow fall in love. Sophia (Bri Ana Wagner) having a real drive to be as corrupt and evil as she is, makes for a well-rounded villainess, however we do get to see some funny scenes of her, for example when she tries to break into Wyatts house... Im talking about the hair in the wind...
