Scratch the Matchmaker

Jay is a grad student at Arizona State. After discovering that David, his regular weekend boyfriend, moved out of state without telling him, Jay is prepared for a weekend of drunken self-pity. Before his pity party has a chance to get started, Jay is unexpectedly rescued by a stray dog named Scratch.
While obtaining the necessary food and dog care items Jay is introduced to Richard, who is studying veterinary medicine. Jay’s ability to function around Richard has him a little confused. Richard keeps looking at him in a way that makes Jay feel like he is scanning his soul.
Richard sees something in Jay that he rarely sees in others. Once he learns that Jay has never owned a dog, he gets an idea. He offers to meet him later to discuss the things he needs to know about caring for a dog.
The attraction is undeniable, but when Jay tells Richard he believes he is worth pursuing but doesn’t want to screw it up by having sex before they even know each other, Richard sees something in Jay he appreciates. Taking the time with Jay gives him the opportunity to delve into his true nature. Richard establishes his domination of Jay in steps. He begins by establishing a set of rules for their relationship.
By the end of the day, Jay is telling his best friend Logan about his new boyfriend.
Over time, Richard experiments with Jay’s deepest passions. When Jay realizes he is totally ready to take that step, Richard advises him that he has assumed responsibility for when and where their first session will take place.
Inexplicably Jay’s family is discovering that they are meeting that once in a lifetime special person of their very own. The only thing these meetings all have in common is that none of the meetings would have taken place had it not been for Scratch.
When Logan puts together the common denominator, Jay is skeptical but willing to test the theory. Logan proposes they use Scratch to find the perfect partners for very wealthy customers.
Logan’s new boyfriend surprisingly turns out to be Jay’s older brother Finch who he has distrusted since childhood. In the course of supporting his best friend Logan, Jay gets to know who his brother Finch really is.
The new boyfriend of Jay’s twin is about to inherit a failing restaurant. Finch’s big goal is to run his own restaurant. In a moment of impending doom, the family pulls together to make the best of an otherwise impossible situation.
