A Los Angeles male escort, who mostly caters to an older female clientèle, is accused of a murder which he did not commit.
 
This movie is more about trying to glamorize being a gigolo than it is about solving the crime in the film.
 
FUN FACT:  Reportedly, one of the reasons John Travolta turned the film down was because he wanted final cut approval but director Paul Schrader would not give it to him. Travolta allegedly kept the Armani suits especially tailor-made for him in the film. The picture is one of at least four films that Gere has done after Travolta had turned them down, the others being Chicago (2002), Days of Heaven (1978), and An Officer and a Gentleman (1982).
