Charlie Barrett, male model extraordinaire, is ready for a
career change. It's not that ten years of modeling haven't
been fun: the Paris shows, the nightclub guest lists, the
fabulous apartment and even more fabulous model girlfriend.
But, at 33, advertisements for comfy cardigans and the
La-Z-Boys loom large in Charlie's future. It's time for him
to find a job that offers more challenge than tilting your
head left or right on command. So when a chance meeting
results in Charlie being offered the job as the face of
2cool2btrue, he readily accepts. 2cool is the web equivalent
of Armani, Prada and Gucci; the sexiest thing in cyberspace
and everyone wants a piece of it. As their marketing guru,
Charlie's days are spent flicking through magazines looking
for luxury products for the website to endorse, his nights a
whirl of launch parties and champagne. But then things start
to go wrong. 2cool's owners disappear... and so does a large
amount of money. With his relationship on the rocks, Charlie
turns to his old modeling pals for support and finds none of
them wants to help a man under investigation for fraud,
particularly one labeled "Pretty Boy" by the Police... What
is a boy to do?
