Once their paths unexpectedly cross and Samir decides to take a more 'personal' approach, he soon has trouble deciding whether he wants to kill Lewis or kiss him. The only life Armen Mink has ever known is one in the spotlight. Under the thumb of his tyrannical billionaire father, nothing less than perfection is allowed.

But when his father sends a hitman to get rid of him for good, things complicate even further when Lewis unexpectedly begins dating the same man who's been hired to kill him.
