Meet Brett Revere. A failed actor and recently fired temp, he's created a life centered on survival and hopefulness. Plucky doesn't pay the rent, but if you use your charm and good looks to convince other people that you're already wealthy--this of course connects you to other wealthy people who are happy to buy you things as long as you're one of them. When Brett meets Jamie Brock at a watering hole for rich, older gay men and the younger men who love their wallets, sparks fly--even after they discover they're both playing the same game. Soon the two are mixing it up with a "Velvet Mafia" of gay power-brokers, suspicious socialites, and social climbers, while running away from compromising Internet photos, creepy roommates, the threat of exposure, and their own nagging consciences.--From publisher description.
