A routine trick propels a tall, dark, cynical hustler into a series of life-changing encounters in this drama. But this amicable and sexually efficient rent boy begins to look at himself differently when he finds himself lost in a maze-like apartment building. As he wanders through the building, he tricks with a variety of johns; sex is the commonality, but out of that commodity comes raw, unguarded emotions for all.

I'm not certain why the film is titled Strapped· I could be that "strapped" is used in the sense of needing money· It it also could be that it is used in the sense of being "confined"· The hustler needs money; and he settles on a profession he likes and does well - satisfying the various needs of his diverse clients· He is also confined, being lost in the building's maze· He is on a road trip, each stop enhancing disovery·
All films must end· And by the time we get near there you may have an inkling of of it· But no matter, this film is not about the end, but about the journey.
