As his friends around him couple and thrupple up, Bobby finds himself happier than ever being independent and single. When Bobby meets Aaron, a ripped hunky office-type they don’t seem to be a match. In fact, they seem like polar opposites but sometimes opposites attract. Both Bobby and Aaron will need to get over their hang-ups and put their busy schedules aside to uncover what could be love.
