Dashamir Sadiko has big dreams. Money in the bank tops his list, and his glimpse into the life of the uber-wealthy at his job at the Dakota is all the incentive he needs. Struggling to work full-time and go to college, Dash desperately wants to break the cycle of poverty his parents had hoped to leave behind in Albania. When the two men become friends, Dash isnтАЩt sure what to expect but canтАЩt help his growing attraction to sweet and sexy Jesse. ItтАЩs nice to see how the other side lives, but his affections canтАЩt be bought; Dash wants to be his own man.
Defying the DakotaтАЩs co-op rules, the two share lunches, their hopes and dreams, and ultimately their hearts. Jesse slowly regains his courage, but heтАЩs worried heтАЩll never be the person he once was and that heтАЩs not good enough for Dash. And Dash isnтАЩt convinced the son of poor immigrants has a place at the table with a blue-blood, trust-fund man. Jesse needs to realize that money canтАЩt buy happiness and love, while Dash must learn to trust that what they have is real, that heтАЩs more than JesseтАЩs walk on the wild side with an uptown guy.
