Eliot calls in his old friend Harry and the team undertakes a Boys Night Out Job to solve their friend's problems.

The episode opens with Eliot at a high school reunion where he reconnects with his old friend Harry. Harry is in trouble with the mob and turns to Eliot for help. Eliot initially tries to help Harry by himself, but when it becomes clear that the situation is more dangerous than he thought, he calls in the rest of the Leverage team to help.

The Boys' Night Out Job sees the team take on a mission that hasn't been tackled before. They decide to put together a boys' night out to extract confidential information from a prominent club member. To do this, Eliot, Harry, Hardison, and Parker all pose as high roller gamblers, while Nate takes on the role of a wealthy businessman. The team attempts to gain the trust of the club member, and through a series of carefully orchestrated moves, they are able to extract the required information.

The plot thickens when the group discovers that the club member they have been targeting is not the source of Harry's problems. The team's attention then turns to discovering who is the real threat to Harry's well-being. They soon realize that Harry's problems are actually stemming from his stepson Kevin. Harry adopted Kevin when he was young, and Kevin has since fallen in with the wrong crowd, ultimately getting in deep with the mob.

The team sets about devising a plan to get Kevin out of trouble and away from the mob.
