Jake's had a crappy day. He's tired, his back is killing him, and he doesn't know how he'll be able to hide it from Mike, his partner. If Mike figures out just how much pain he's in he'll insist on Jake going to see someone about it, and he can't afford to this month.
When Jake gets home, it's not Mike meeting him, though. Their living room has been transformed into a massage parlour, and a man named Jean-Claud insists on Jake getting undressed and taking a place on his massage table. Jake is left with little choice but to do as he's told.
