 Warren has an extra room in his apartment (and is five months behind on the rent) after his lover moves out, so a friend places an ad on his behalf for a GWM roommate. Frankie, a pizza baker (and aspiring actor), decides to move out of his family s flat in The Bronx when he comes home one evening and walks in on his brother making love to Frankie s girlfriend. Frankie checks ads for roommates in "the city" (i.e., Manhattan), notices Warren s ad and decides to answer it, reasoning that GWM stands for "Guy With Money."
