In a neopagan theocratic society where gay boys are classified as Dominant or submissive at eighteen, Ivar and Lars are sent to a midsummer initiation on the island of Mandø after being caught together. But as the days unfold, it is Ivar, rebellious, proud, and secretly aching to surrender, who takes center stage. Amid leather, rituals, and strict mentors, he discovers that submission may not mean weakness, and love may come in unexpected forms.
