There, Guy must undergo a brutal initiation ritual and swim across shark-infested waters in order to win the love of a local man. Meanwhile, Luca, unable to accept his sexuality, becomes obsessed with being rescued and soon degenerates into drug dependency.

When Luca's scheme falls apart, Guy must choose between remaining on the island with the man he loves or saving Luca's life.Could there really be such a society, or does it only exist within the fantasy of a lonely old gay man?
