Synopsis

My Own Private Idaho follows the story of young male hustlers Mike Waters and Scott Favor, who work in the Pacific Northwest and often hang out with other hustlers in an abandoned building in Portland.

Under the mentorship of an overweight homeless gay man named Bob Pigeon, Mike and Scott are best friends. Mike identifies as gay, while Scott sees his sexual encounters with male clients as solely business.

Scott sees himself as Mike's protector, as Mike suffers from stress-induced narcolepsy and often passes out at inopportune times. Mike eventually admits to Scott that he loves him more than just a friend.

Mike grew up in a poor and broken family environment in Idaho, with his mother abandoning him and his older brother when he was a child. Scott, on the other hand, grew up in a privileged household as the son of the Portland mayor.

As Scott contemplates giving up the street life when he turns twenty-one to collect his trust, the different views of their future may put a strain on their friendship, despite their willingness to do almost anything for each other.
