I'm Straight, Mr. Voss!
A struggling romance novelist who has never been in love and is terrible at writing romantic scenes publicly tears into a billionaire in a hotel lobby, even stealing his lighter before walking away. Three days later, the billionaire offers him a ten-million-dollar contract to become his kept lover. Coincidentally, that is exactly the amount he needs for his mother’s life-saving surgery. Desperate to save his mother, he agrees to spend just one night with the billionaire. But what was supposed to be a one-night arrangement soon turns into a complicated, irresistible entanglement neither of them can escape.

Episode 1
A hotel lobby, a writer mid-sentence, and a billionaire who wants the room emptied. Mr. Voss's people order the atrium cleared for the boss's arrival, and the novelist's unsaved work is lost in the rush. He doesn't take it quietly. He tears into the famous Mr. Voss right there in front of everyone.
Then comes the offer that changes the math: ten million dollars. One month with him. The writer laughs it off — the absurd proposal hanging in the air as the lobby empties around them.
Episode 2
The confrontation spills over. The novelist points out the absurdity of it — nine people displaced, hours of work lost, all so one man could walk a few steps to an elevator. He asks the obvious question: why would anyone work for a man that full of himself?
He promises Mr. Voss he'll remember his face, maybe even put him in a novel as a disposable side character who ends up on the street and dies early. Voss, unfazed, orders a down payment and asks for one copy of every book the novelist has published. The interest is already there. The power imbalance is the point.
Episode 3
Three days camped out, rewriting everything from scratch after his laptop was gutted — six hundred dollars just to pull the drive. He doesn't have it. So he's improvising: a custom piece he plans to pawn tomorrow, and a third meal eaten at someone else's place, called "research."
The writing itself is still the problem. The love scenes land flat, and someone says so bluntly — worse than the first draft. Meanwhile, Mr. Voss keeps circling, and the question hangs in the air: who's really pursuing whom here?
Episode 4
The bill gets itemized: four thousand to fix the computer, plus emotional distress, plus royalties on a chapter. Round it up and make it ten. Voss doesn't flinch. He offers ten million — one month with him.
The novelist recoils. What is he, a hooker? Voss calls it a fair trade: he needs money, and Voss wants him. But the writer pushes back — Voss knows nothing about him, hasn't even read what he writes. Then Voss lands the jab that cuts deepest: "You're a virgin, aren't you?" The negotiation just became personal.
Episode 5
The critique sharpens. Every book ends the same way — the leads kiss, then it cuts straight to morning. Voss compares it to a swimming instructor who's never been in the water. The novelist fires back: he's not gay, not interested in men, and definitely not interested in someone that vain and arrogant. He won't sell his body for money.
Voss volleys with a smirk about his face being interesting. So no money, and now some guy is hitting on him — what a day. Then the phone rings. A hospital. He's already on his way.
Episode 6
At his mother's bedside, the truth comes out. She's been hiding how sick she is, waving off the dishes and the deadlines, still insisting her son will be a great writer one day. He tells her to sleep.
Then the doctor delivers the blow: her aortic valve is failing. She needs surgery as soon as possible, and waiting only makes it worse. The cost isn't just the operation — it's observation, blood thinners, and checkups for at least two years. Without insurance, the total lands around ten million. The exact number Voss offered.
Episode 7
He tells the doctor he'll get the money and begs them to schedule the surgery. Then he starts scrambling — sell something, anything. But Ezra, the publisher, has passed on the new book. No check is coming, even after the outline was approved three months ago. Those three nights of work were for nothing.
On the phone, he insists he's fine, that he's handled it. He isn't. And upstairs, Mr. Finch has arrived without an appointment. Voss tells them to send him up — another piece moving on the board while the novelist runs out of options.
