He was going to use the money to celebrate his birthday, and to pay a drug dealer the $300 dollars he owes him. John needs to make some dough fast, but business is slow because of the time of year. Fortunately, help arrives in the form of Donner, John's gay friend and a fellow prostitute. Donner, who's infatuated with John, agrees to help him earn some cash.
