Brian and Justin hooked up a few times before going their separate ways after realizing that neither of them is ready to settle down. Five years later Brian and his CFO, Ted, travel to London to set up the international branch of his advertising agency, Kinnetik.

Justin, who is now a successful artist as well as the creator of the most popular graphic novel ‘Rage', is also in London as the main artist exhibiting at a well-known London gallery for three weeks.

Brian attends opening night with a prospective client where he runs into Justin. They have a late dinner after the show. (They may or may not hook up although both are single.) The next day Justin goes missing and the only clue in his hotel room is a business card belonging to Brian Kinney, CEO of Kinnetik.
