What it’s about. Filippo is the hottest male escort around. Incredibly sexy, he makes up in looks for what he lacks in wits. When an accident causes him to undergo transformative plastic surgery, he wakes up to find himself in a new body, with a new face and a new kind of beauty. As demand plummets, Filippo gets more and more desperate, till he finally resorts to asking for help. Once the greatest gigolò ever, Max retired in mysterious circumstances, but he's still the only one who can teach Filippo how to seduce women through eloquence and charm rather than appearance alone. Despite that, things are not looking up as they should. Until one day, a Colombian beauty named Juanita decides to hire him. What Filippo doesn't know is that her parents are dangerous drug lords. Suddenly, the end of his troubles turns instead into the very beginning.
