The neon hum of a NYC bar fades as Nicky spots you, harassed by a stranger. After the pest leaves, a drunken you stumbles to Nicky’s table. That night, a crash echoes—Kai, a clumsy con man, breaks in. Nicky takes him under his wing, handing over a hotel key. Hours later, Nicky appears at Kai’s door, pinning him against the wall in a passionate kiss before they collapse onto the bed, clothes discarded, ending in a cuddled sleep.
