In The Price of Luxury, the line between care and control blurs behind designer glass and champagne promises.

Part 1 begins with Jay, a young stylist pulled into the orbit of Raymond — a wealthy, magnetic man who believes generosity is its own kind of power. What starts as a shopping trip turns into something heavier. Between mirrors and champagne flutes, Raymond tests how far kindness can go before it becomes ownership.

Part 2 takes that quiet arrangement public. Raymond hosts a private dinner for his most important clients, and Jay isn’t just a guest — he’s part of the presentation. As the night unfolds, the conversation slides from business to pleasure, and Jay learns that luxury has fine print no one talks about. Every look, every touch, every laugh comes at a price.

Part 3 pushes the arrangement past city limits. On a private jet bound for an undisclosed destination, Raymond and one of his clients test loyalty at thirty thousand feet. Jay plays the part perfectly — calm, composed, collected — but behind every glass of champagne is another silent demand. Above the clouds, he begins to understand that luxury doesn’t just buy silence. It owns it.

The Price of Luxury is a three-part story— Black queer drama about wealth, desire, and the hidden contracts written in love, power, and performance.
