Forty-year-old Max Venable, now single, faces major surgery that will definitely impact his sex life. You see, Max has been diagnosed with stage one prostate cancer. But he's fit, doesn't drink (much), or smoke, and has never done drugs. Prostate cancer moves very slowly, so usually when it presents itself in later life, the recommendation is to monitor it. Basically, something else will get you first. However, given Max's age and otherwise great physical shape, his urologist, Dr. Hap, recommends a radical prostatectomy - surgical removal of the cancerous prostate. Max is torn between Dr. Hap's opinion and the adamant stance championed by his (behind-the-scenes) significant other who protests that surgery would be a drastic mistake. No, Max's significant isn't his girlfriend, and not a 'best friend with benefits.' It's his 'pal' joey who, by-the-way, shares the same birth date as Max. You might say that 'they have been roommates forever.'
