Quinn Osbourne is pleased when good looking and friendly Jacob Beauregard moves into the apartment next to his. They hit it off, and even though Jacob is apparently straight, they quickly form a friendship. Jacob is wowed when he discovers that Quinn is not only an artist, but also The Banished, a street artist who paints large murals around Brooklyn. During an expedition to show Jacob his latest effort, Quinn sprains his ankle badly and is confined to his bed with a cold compress and unrequited lust for Jacob.
Fogged by pain and alcohol, Quinn orders himself a naughty toy for Christmas. He is mortified when he realizes the gift was delivered to Jacob. How on earth can this embarrassment be resolved to everyone's satisfaction?
