In 'Cruising' Adam Brenner looks forward to 'a life on the ocean wave', but soon discovers that out on the vast regions of the Atlantic, sudden squalls - both natural and man-made - happen all too frequently. Max is at a business conference when long-term partner, Rob, joins him, suggesting they play a game. Will 'Maximum Exposure' be enough, or merely expose the flaws in their relationship? Can Andrew really spend twelve hours saying no to everything the would-be dominant Stephen offers him? It's not going to be easy, when all he wants to say is-"Yes!" His dad wants to say 'Sorry Charlie' after a 17-year family feud. Charlie's overjoyed but also annoyed that his partner Jonathan is anything but supportive. As punishment, bad boy Stephen Powell is banished to the wilds of Wyoming. Enigmatic Dakota Youngblood is supposed to tame the brash younger man, but in the 'Heat of the Night', nothing will ever be the same again... In 'One Night Stand', Tom Garner is finally ready to date again after the death of his partner. Can a disastrous one night stand lead to something more?
