John Webster is a well-educated man who runs an art gallery for James' mother. John is a gay man who would very much like to meet a man who fits a specific profile. James stumbles onto John's profile on a gay dating web site and he decides to create a profile matching what John wants in a man. James does this in an attempt to connect on a higher level with someone he admires greatly. However, this trick backfires and appears to damage their relationship beyond repair. By the end of the book, though, it seems John has come around and will eventually forgive James.
