Peter Klaven, a successful Los Angeles real estate agent preparing for his upcoming wedding to the love of his life, Zooey Rice, faces a jarring realization during a dinner party: despite his charm and social exterior, he has no male friends to serve as his best man. Accused of being a "girlfriend guy" who completely absorbs the identities of his romantic partners, Peter resolves to find a male companion.

The breakup leaves both men heartbroken and adrift.On the day of the wedding, Peter realizes that denying a crucial part of himself—his loyalty to his best friend—is no way to start a marriage.
