Barebacking in Rio begins with Thiago just hanging out in his house, waiting for the action to come to him - and does it ever! Mateus and Sandro meet on the street and do some catching up before Sandro invites Mateus back to see his new apartment. Having fallen on hard times, Douglas resorts to robbing houses. He breaks into Denys' place, while Denys is relaxing in his hot tub. "Hard times" of a different nature ensue. Muscular hardbody Poax is having problems taking the wheel off his van, injuring his hand in the process. A complete stranger, Alex, passes by and tries to help out. Having no luck with the wheel, Poax doesn't realize his luck is about to change with this nice and very helpful stranger. Bruno is late, and Alan, watching a movie while in bed, calls him up wondering what the delay is. Bruno says he'll be there soon, but Alan gets tired while waiting and falls asleep.
