An intimate, observational portrait of a London rent boy's year-long pursuit of professional recognition within a world of transactional intimacy and social marginalization.

Just as doctors, lawyers and others strive to reach the top of their professions, Greek Pete longs to reach the pinnacle of his. The only difference is that he's a rent boy, and the recognition he seeks is a nod from the World Escort Awards.
