Maxmillian Poole prefers to believe that success defines a man. It has, he believes, defined him. He has everything he could possibly want: ownership of a highly profitable and in-demand security firm, a luxurious lifestyle, and most importantly, the love of his life, fellow agent Ethan Winter.

But recently his success has been chipped at by the most unexpected source: his own father Philip Poole. After having his career and his lover nearly ruined by Philip, Maxmillian accepts that this is a problem that can no longer be ignored. His company and his relationship with Ethan are both at stake.

So he makes a proposal: fly to Europe and confront his problematic parents. However, once in Spain, he and Ethan are unprepared for the mother and father that they meet, nor for the mystery behind their strange behavior.
