Plot summary

The plot of American Gigolo is as follows:

“American Gigolo, a present-day reimagining of the iconic 1980 film, follows Julian Kaye after his wrongful conviction release from 15 years in prison as he navigates his complicated relationships with his former lover Michelle, his troubled mother, and the people who betrayed him. While Julian struggles to reconcile the escort he was in the past and the man he is today, Detective Sunday seeks the truth about the murder that sent Julian to prison all those years ago, unearthing a much larger conspiracy along the way.”

Unlike the film, the series will focus on Julian’s time post-prison. In the movie, the storyline revolved around Julian (who was played by Richard Gere) doing all he could to stay out of prison for a murder he wasn’t responsbile for.
