Cougar Club

Hogan is granted residency in the house of his best friend Spence, creating an uneasy living situation. His attraction to older women and his unusual sexual habit worries Spence's father and his girlfriend. The setup establishes the dynamic that drives the early misadventures.

Just before graduation, Hogan shares a kiss with his much older professor. The moment foreshadows his pattern of seeking experienced partners. It also sets up the theme of age-gap desire that recurs through the story.

During a private celebration, Hogan dances intimately with Edith, the host's wife. The host is a lawyer whose influence factors into Spence's father's plan for Hogan's career. This moment hints at the entangled relationships that fuel later conflicts.

The host's wife disappears, and when the front wall of Spence's treehouse breaks, everyone sees Edith mounting Hogan. The embarrassing exposure cements the pattern of adult-older encounters around Hogan. It also triggers a shift in how Spence's father views Hogan's future.

Spence's father decides to secure a residency for Hogan by appealing to Mr. Stack, the town's most controversial divorce lawyer. This sets up an uneasy alliance that will drive later events in the firm. The move marks the start of Hogan's path through Stack's world.

The two friends push to land Hogan the same job, working together to win the favor of Stack and his firm. Their collaboration marks the beginning of their illegal but comic PI work on behalf of the divorce lawyers. The dynamic shifts from friendship to opportunistic partnership.

The divorce lawyers escalate the test by making Hogan and Spence perform dirty chores and dangerous investigative tasks. They endure physical and ethical discomfort to prove their loyalty. The abuse highlights the moral ambiguity of their new venture.

In the office, Hogan has sex with the older secretary in a closet, while Spence tends to the messy workplace. The exposure demonstrates the moral murkiness of their new life and foreshadows the blowback they will face. The environment becomes a powder keg of secrets.

After a provocative encounter with the group of middle-aged women, Hogan conceives the Cougar Club—an enterprise offering access to younger men for premium fees. They pivot from straight labor to organizing social gatherings and events. The concept redefines their ambitions and risk.

Their first client is a pre-Bar law graduate who has only masturbated before; they set him up for revenge by pairing him with the boss's wife, Teddy Archibald. The arrangement proves the business model's potential and publicity. The event triggers further entanglements with the lawyers' lives.

Spence sleeps with Stack's ex-wife in his childhood bed, while Hogan beds another partner's wife who is younger. The affairs intensify the risk of exposure and complicate personal loyalties. Living with the consequences becomes a major strain on their friendship.

Spence's parents return from vacation with Mr. Stack, catching the couple's guests off-guard. Spence hides the sex guests, but Danielle is caught by Spence's girlfriend and spotted by Mr. Stack. The discovery fuels legal trouble and sets the stage for police involvement.

The husband finds papers Spence left about Cougar Club and tips off the police. A detective infiltrates the next party, leading to the arrest of Hogan and Spence for pandering. Their employment with Stack comes to a abrupt halt as a result.

Hogan convinces Spence to lure the vengeful lawyers into a car-bombing scenario to get arrested for terrorism. The plan is carried out with a troubling mix of bravado and illegality, pulling them deeper into legal peril. Spence contemplates the consequences as their actions spiral.

At the trial, a friend who has passed the bar provides help, and the judge invites them to her chambers, kissing Spence as a possible acquittal signal. The moment reframes their relationship with the law and their future. With no simple letter of recommendation, they celebrate by launching a statewide Cougar Club bus tour that widens their influence.
