Nick Brim falls in love with Natalie at first sight, at the local wine bar. However, being over dressed (as little brother Simon has shrunk his most appropriate clothes in the wash), he is mistaken for a gigolo and is unable to talk with her that night. When he resigns from his teaching position, because of love (or lack of it for a certain pupil whom he suspects is the anti-Christ), Simon has the perfect career for him. The series continues with Nick being slowly persuaded into a life as a gigolo, whilst trying to initiate romance with Natalie.
