The Turk R. and the German M. are buddies. R. works as a bartender in a hip Mexican margarita joint, and M. as a cook in an African restaurant which specializes in shark dishes. They each have 2 girlfriends at a time since they believe in the "polygamic nature of men" and that "their body needs the change". Unfortunately their 4 girlfriends -- all of which are modern women - do not share those philosophical views and raise hell once they discover the double timing. - This is Chapter 1 "Good Morning, You Handsome Guy!" - Chapter 2-6 to follow.

The experiment Quid Pro Quo is based on the Surrealist game, The Exquisite Corpse: a game designed on the idea of chance, in which multiple artists explore interpretations of sponateous imagery in a kind of collaborative imagination. Quid Pro Quo functions as a contemporary version of this game, in which an idea is interpreted and re-constructed, then passed on to the next player.
