Pellosie plays Thane, press notes state, "a handsome naif plucked from his small town and thrown into the largest of chiseled-jawed ponds: the New York City modeling scene. Finding a way to rise to the top through charm and smoldering looks, he is looking for more than just a hook-up in our modern day world of digital mobile dating apps. Thane has his roommate, Vincent (Anthony Rapp) use his intellect and witty banter to help him find a boy who will 'stay the night' and make a deeper connection. Vincent's best friend, Autumn (Claire Coffee), is intrigued with the gay hook-up culture that offers easily accessible sex with the simple exchange of a few texts. 'Grind' takes a sexy and artistic look at the ways we connect in today’s multi screened hook up culture and asks, 'Do you REALLY know who you’re talking to?'”
