Joel Ashkinazy, an ordinary guy from Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, works hard in the fashion business during the week and plays harder on the weekends in Manhattan. One Sunday, while on his way in to the Big Apple to shake his booty, his best friend, Nicholas Filipov, asks him to stop by. Joel discovers Nikki's body. He had been murdered minutes before Joel walked through the door. Joel is questioned by Detective Timothy Clarke, who suspects Joel is not telling all that he knows. Detective Clarke seems all too familiar with the gay scene and Nicholas Filipov’s involvement with the Russian Mob and male prostitution. Joel cannot conceal his interest in straight men, but Clarke isn’t buying. Clarke, instinctively, presses Joel to reveal what is in The Black Book.
