Calvin's (Dalton Riley) sister Sarah would like her sibling and her boyfriend, James (Ryan Jordan), to be best friends! So she arranges a "playdate" for them, and Dalton gets to pick the movie. He shows him he had James followed and filmed cheating on Sarah with another woman! The natural thing to do here is to blackmail him and make him have sex with him, otherwise Calvin won't keep it under wraps, and ruin James's chances at climbing the corporate ladder at Sarah's father's company.
Disruptive Films is getting to be known for two things: dense plots, and themes considered taboo. This release is a prime example of that, and it's very enjoyable for the right audience. It's also worth noting it's a little rare to see the person being blackmailed being the top in the ensuing session - albeit not unheard of - because a top being submissive is a very niche flavor. Ryan Jordan excels in his role, giving just the right amount of apprehension to make the story believable.
Dialogue in a delicate case like this is usually very easily mishandled, as it can get cringey if there's no acting experience involved. Dalton Riley however, does as much as he can with what he's given. What's cringey though is all the props and decorations, which leads one to believe they spent all the budget on the script. Unexplained dollar store Halloween sugar skulls, and the smallest Macbook known to man to watch a movie on, make it difficult to ignore the confusing atmosphere. Fortunately our friends eventually move on to the bedroom, in which the cloth-draped furniture at least make it seem like it's a guest room. What definitely wins here are the perfected skills from both the actors, salvaging the whole debacle.
