Blaine (Nicholas Downs) is a struggling writer looking for love and constantly failing largely due to his lack of confidence. He meets Xander (David Loren) online and after a few phone calls thinks he’s found his dream guy. Then panics when he realizes his go-go boy roommate Cameron’s (Adam Huss) online profile was swapped for his when Cameron borrowed his laptop. And the mistakend identity comedy begins with Blaine afraid to fess up, Cameron trying to play along to help, and Xander confused in Is It Just Me. All in all pretty funny.
