LORDS OF HOGTOWN

Bar manager Johnny Wager is confronted by Mark, a young man claiming to be his son. Wager doesn't even remember his one-night fling with Jessica, Mark’s mother, when they were in high school. She was his last desperate attempt to be straight.
Wager’s parents rejected him when he came out as gay the same year. He now spurns the idea of family and won’t let himself get close to anyone. He doesn’t believe there’s love out there for him. 
Back when he had been newly diagnosed, one of his lovers claimed he didn’t disclose his status and didn’t use protection thus theoretically endangering him. The courts in Canada classed that as aggravated sexual assault. Wager spent a couple of years in prison and was put on the sex offender’s list. Now it’s coming back to haunt the son he didn’t know he had. Jessica told Mark that his father died a war hero in Afghanistan. This lie is revealed during the background check Mark went through to become a police officer. It's also revealed that Wager listed in the sex register's list.
Mark seeks out Wager to find out the truth and remove the blot on his police academy application. The first time Mark sees his father is at the Pride Parade where Wager is hustling Pyotr, a good-looking, much young man. Mark follows them to the bar, Hogtown Ginmill which Wager manages. There Mark is mistaken for a hired Strip-O-Gram by Hyacinth, Wager’s best friend and resident drag queen. Amid the chaotic confusion that ensues, Marks insists on talking to Wager alone. After trying to jog Wager's memory Mark blurts the truth out. Wager is his father.
Despite the evidence, Wager wants nothing to do with Mark and rejects his son in favor of taking Pyotr home. When Wager tells him about his status, Pyotr reveals he is positive too.
Wager reluctantly meets with Mark the following day where he reveals the criminal charges came from his failure to disclose his HIV positive status. The charge was bogus, but it stuck, ruining Wager's life.
When a fire leaves Wager homeless he refuses Mark’s help. He eventually breaks down and accepts Mark's offer to stay with him until he can get back on his feet.
The only problem is there could be no two people less alike despite the fact the two are almost identical in appearance. Wager lives paycheck to paycheck and Mark's mother earned a small fortune which she left him. Wager's a bar manager with a shady past and his son is a newly minted police officer. Wager is a man with no mission greater than finding a new body to sleep with. Mark truly wants to do good. He also has a steady girlfriend, Alexis, who he is very loyal to.
Wager doesn't notice that Pyotr’s behavior is off. He defies Mark's house rules and brings Pyotr home. Wager's boss gets an anonymous message revealing Wager's criminal status and he is fired. Believing Mark told Sid, Wager gets drunk and attacks Mark. Later, ashamed, he flees Mark's place.
Forced to move into a cheap boarding house, Wager finds a job in a dive bar. When Hyacinth tracks him down, he refuses to talk. Hyacinth goes to Mark and Alexis to join her in saving Wager from himself. Mark can't join them, they secretly decide to venture out on their own. Hyacinth, as full of surprises as ever, shows up riding a Harley.
They arrive at Wager’s dive bar where they are surprised by Pyotr, also looking for Wager. When they say they can't help Pyotr, he grows enraged, stabs Hyacinth and kidnaps Alexis.
When Wager finds out about the stabbing, he rushes to Hyacinth's side. When he discovers what Pyotr did, he calls Mark. Together, Wager and Mark must find Pyotr and save Alexis. First they go to Pyotr’s place where they don’t find Pyotr or Alexis, but they do find a wall of photos that show Pyotr has been stalking Wager for months before they actually met.
On the hurried drive to Mark’s place, Wager confesses how his one wish was to have his own bar one day, but getting the sex offender label made that impossible. He had the closest thing to that managing the Hogtown Ginmill. Mark tells him Alexis thinks there’s a good chance they might be able to get that sentence reversed and get him exonerated.
Wager video calls Pyotr and when Pyotr answers, Wager plays loving boyfriend and tries to get Pyotr to reveal where he is. Pyotr won’t, but Wager realizes he is at Mark’s place.
They confront Pyotr on the terrace of Mark’s penthouse. He has tied Alexis up and tells Wager that he had to get Mark out of the way and he could do that by taking his girlfriend away. He claims he and Wager belong together. Mark has no right to keep them apart. When Pyotr moves to kill Mark, Wager attacks him. In the ensuing struggle, Wager plunges down a flight of stairs, cracking his head hard enough to daze him. Pyotr tries to escape but is prevented by Mark. In one last desperate attempt Pyotr grabs Alexis and holds her at knife point.
Wager comes to and pleads with Pyotr to let his family go. Pyotr scoffs and says they’re not his family, Pyotr is all the family Wager needs. Wager says I’m sorry, but I don’t love you. Pyotr is heartbroken. Wager apologizes for not being able to give Pyotr what he wants, that Mark is his family. Pyotr begs him to join him in death. Frantic to save him, Wager gets closer, while Mark tries to come up on Pyotr’s blind side. But Pyotr can’t take the rejection and throws himself over the railing, expecting to fall seventy-two stories. Instead, he ends up on the terrace three stories below Mark's, injured but alive.
A year later the bar reopens with Wager as co-owner, everyone is there, including Mark and Alexis who announce they're getting married. Further, Alexis is pregnant, which Hyacinth relates with great glee makes Wager, the reluctant father, a grandfather.
