Tory Cuthbert is the owner of Misty View Motel, and he's mostly satisfied with his life. He rarely thinks about the time, fourteen years ago, when a boy he loved — Wheeler Ridley — left him behind. Maury Landrum, one of Tory's employees, is a tempting morsel, but Tory can't seem to bring himself to take the next step, even though he knows Maury would be more than willing. Then Wheeler turns up at the motel and doesn't even recognize Tory when he hits on him. After Wheeler's repeated attempts to get into Tory's pants, Tory reveals that they knew each other and what happened when they were kids. Wheeler remembers things differently, however, and Tory realizes he's actually been wrong — all this time. When Maury abruptly resigns, Tory finally wakes up to what's been right under his nose. And he has to get Maury back, no matter what.
