Valentin Bychkov, rising star of contemporary Russian ballet, appears to have everything: wealth, talent, success, and a face and body to match. Not that anyone can get close. Bypass the entourage and there's still Valentin's sharp tongue and acerbic wit to deal with. He may give his body freely, but his emotions are tightly locked away. Max Farley's life is a simple one. All he's interested in is work, drinking, and picking up the next one-night stand. How he chooses to live may not be to everyone's taste, but it suits him. No one's made him want to confront his demons, until now.

Ballet dance is smooth and graceful. Listen along as ballet dancers plie and turn to the music.
