A Texan moves to New York to become a male prostitute.

It has its moments. When its about Joe and Rico's relationship, it's pretty good. Most of the Naive Texan stuff is not particularly interesting. And I found the many dream/memory/fantasy sequences to be quite dull, and a lazy way to establish characters.
