Jason likes to think he's outdoorsy. He hikes, he runs, he makes bad decisions on mountain bikes with his best friend. If he weren't stuck in his office job with his insane boss and his busy schedule, he might even have time to go camping. But when his boss gets involved in a high-publicity scandal and needs to spend some time away from civilization, Jason thinks he might be in over his head. Not only do he and his coworkers get dragged away into the heart of the Alaskan backcountry, but they're also stuck with a gruff hunk of a fishing guide who is dangerously handsome and lamentably straight. Jason's been unlucky enough in love, and this new unreciprocated crush just makes him miserable. Nick isn't exactly ecstatic to be working with Jason and his colleagues, either. The company's CEO is a handful at the best of times, and one of his fellow guides winds up fueling his ego and his dangerous hijinks. To make matters even more stressful, he develops a fixation he can't explain with the CEO's gay assistant. As the two work together to corral Jason's boss, they find that they have a lot in common. Nick isn't interested in men, but with Jason he just might make an exception. It doesn't take long for things to get hot and heavy, and Nick is confronted with desires he's never thought about and doesn't want to explain to himself.

After Chris' break-up with his ex-girlfriend, he's pretty sure that nothing is ever going to be the same again. He thinks that she's probably right to walk out, anyway. After falling into a deep depression, things seem to start getting better. He decides to join a local volunteer acting troupe. That's where he meets Jacob, the charismatic young lead with the rainbow-colored hair tips and an easy smile. When Jacob offers to be his private acting coach, Chris feels like he's just won the lottery. He has no reason to believe that these private acting lessons are going to become so much more. Soon, he finds himself with intense and confusing feelings for Jacob. They make no sense. Chris has never been into guys before. Things haven't been going that well for Jacob. After a few small roles, he's starting to find himself with no work again. Soon, he's tempted to fall back into old habits. A few random encounters make him believe that maybe he and his new friend Chris are more than just friends, but Jacob knows enough about straight boys. He needs to steer clear of him if he doesn't want a world of pain. Chris' allure is far too much, though, and soon he finds himself in an explosive relationship. With Chris' crazy ex and a whole lot of his own past that he would like to hide, Jacob is pretty sure that this relationship isn't going to work out in the long-term. Maybe if Chris can get a handle on the situation with his ex, Jacob would be more inclined to stick around. At least, Chris hopes so. But as it is, Jacob has every reason not to, except for Chris himself. And that shouldn't be a good enough reason, should it?
