Jason Davis is in pain. Still smarting from a bad breakup, he struggles to pay both halves of an overwhelming mortgage and balance the books at his floundering business. As if the emotional and financial pain weren't enough, the agony of a years-old shoulder injury keeps him up at night. When he faces a choice between medication and insomnia, he takes a friend's advice and gives acupuncture a try. Acupuncturist Michael Whitman is a single dad striving to make ends meet, and his landlord just hiked the rent. When new patient Jason, suggests a roommate arrangement, Michael seizes the opportunity. Getting a roommate might be the best idea Jason's ever had-if it weren't for his attraction to Michael, who seems to be allergic to wearing shirts. Still, a little unresolved sexual tension is a small price to pay for pain and financial relief. He'll keep his hands and feelings to himself since Michael is straight isn't he?
