How every film is hand-scored →When Spence and Hogan graduate from college, life is bleak. They have to work for heinous divorce lawyers that torture them with gruesome jobs. Spence has a girlfriend from hell, and Hogan just wants to start his life. As luck would have it, these two young men are presented with an opportunity, and develop a club of young men devoted to older women, whom they call “Cougars.”
