Еще в детстве Николас понял, что он не такой, как все. Его влечет то, что остальные считают постыдным и неприемлемым, то, о чём не стоит говорить вслух. Из-за конфликта на границе с Анголой, все молодые парни старше шестнадцати вынуждены отслужить два года, в обязательном порядке. Казалось бы, в армии таким, как Ник, не выжить, но парень знакомится с другим рекрутом, который отвечает ему взаимностью.
