Right, a potential story arc for Mike and some character details and story twists for Paul, Damian, and Kim. Here we go:

Mike is a bartender in New York, who has been working at the same bar for years. He's a good listener and often serves as a sounding board for his regular customers, standard. One night, a new customer walks into the bar and catches Mike's eye as he looks like he's stuck with something, and Mike, being a pro bartender, can spot that look of creative block a mile off. The guy's name is Paul, a writer who's struggling to finish his latest novel. Mike strikes up a conversation with him and they hit it off. Mike becomes Paul's confidant and helps him work through his writer's block.

As their friendship grows, Paul begins to develop feelings for Mike. Mike, however, is hesitant to pursue a romantic relationship with Paul because he doesn't like men. Mike had a difficult past with a former partner who cheated on him too, so he's generally just trying to avoid relationships and even any talk of them that involves him personally.

Meanwhile, Damian, a regular at the bar, is a successful businessman who is used to getting what he wants. He's arrogant and entitled, but he's also charming and good-looking. Damian also takes an interest in Mike for some reason, and starts to pursue him, despite Mike's confusion as to why not one, but two men are now vying for his attention. Damian is persistent and doesn't take no for an answer, which creates tension between him and Paul.

Kim is a freelance photographer who comes into the bar one night after a long day at a crazy photoshoot. She's shy and reserved, but she's drawn to Mike's kind and empathetic nature after the day's wild ride of spoilt, arrogant, and obnoxious fashion-types. Mike helps her come out of her shell and they form a friendship. Kim seems keen with Paul as the night progresses, but she's hesitant to pursue him because of his obvious feelings for Mike. She's not judegmental that way, but she isn't about to get messy with someone who bats for the other team!

As the evening progresses, Mike must confront his past and decide whether he's ready to open his heart to love again, whilst fending off 2 men no less. Paul must navigate his feelings for Mike and his jealousy of Damian, who is determined to win Mike's affections, and whether he does or not, is clearly quite the specimen. Damian must learn to respect Mike's boundaries and understand that he can't always get what he wants, whilst trying not to end up in a fist fight with Paul. And Kim must decide whether to follow her heart or let her fear of rejection hold her back.

In the end, the characters' paths converge as they all confront their feelings and try to find happiness, over way too much alcohol. As everyone is trying their best to be nice, the group have a really good time and Mike decides to have a "lock-in" with them all. Unfortunately, it proves to be a bad move, as he wakes up at 8am, face down on the bar, with his pants around his ankles, no-one else to be seen. and no memory of how he ended up in that position.
