When Tracy punches an African bootlegger in the face for pirating the clothing line he models, he's arrested and his life takes a turn for the worse. For while Christian, who bails him out of jail, claims to have Tracy's best interests at heart, all he's really interested in is making more money. Soon, the designer is playing a dangerous game that could leave both of their lives at risk.
