Description:
Jake Guarani wonders how he's gotten into being such a bigtime provider. A contractor on Chicago's North Shore making low six figures, he's got a wife who's a stay-at-home mom and a daughter with tutoring, ballet class, and kid soccer. It's hard not to feel taken for granted, the family workhorse.
In his sex life, Jake has always gotten his pleasure from giving women a good time. He's that kind of "provider" too. Closing in on forty, he figures it's now or never if he wants to satisfy his curiosity about casual sex with other guys. That's not exactly cheating, is it? Surprise comes when Jake begins to want more than hot motel quickies with a wealthy, old-family Winnetka gentleman. What's going on here? As the song says, 'This can't be love, ' right? And if it is, if he's a "real" bisexual, Jake's nicely put-together world will get turned on its ear.
