Yoon Jaesung has always been the hottest shit in town. He’s got the good looks, more money than he knows what to do with, and he’s smart. One of the ways he shows just how great he is is by being at the top of his class. Unfortunately, after the return of Lee Hyun, that method of showing off is taken from him, relegating him to second place. This is unacceptable for the perfectionist that is Jaesung. It’s so traumatizing for Jaesung that he ends up with another, far worse issue. He’s impotent.

At a loss, he complains to his friends, one of whom turns him onto a streaming app called Cake. It’s a gay cam site, and with nothing to lose, Jaesung gives it a shot. Jaesung checks out the streamer his friend suggested, and while there’s nothing particularly unique about this streamer, there’s just something about him that piques Jaesung’s interest. Miraculously, this streamer cures Jaesung’s impotence problem, but as Jaesung finds out, this streamer is the only one that can get him hard anymore. Desperate, Jaesung floods the streamer with donations, hoping to meet him in person, have sex, and cure his impotence for good.

What he doesn’t expect is that the streamer happens to be someone he already knows.
