Handlung
Steven Kovacs wurde von seiner Freundin Robin Harris aus seinem Apartment geworfen. Für die Elektrik in seiner neuen Wohnung engagiert er den Kabeltechniker Chip Douglas. Steven gibt vor, sich für die Arbeit des einsamen Chip zu interessieren. Dieser deutet das Interesse als ein Freundschaftsgesuch. Und tatsächlich entwickelt sich zwischen den beiden Männern eine private Bande. Aber Chip leistet sich einen Fehler, als er glaubt die richtige Lösung für Stevens Liebeskummer parat zu haben, der immer noch über die Trennung von seiner Ex-Freundin Robin trauert. Chips eigenmächtiger Plan führt schließlich dazu, dass sich Steven hintergangen fühlt und sich von Chip distanziert. Damit kann Chip aber überhaupt nicht gut umgehen und dreht völlig durch.
