Synopsis

Kael, a brilliant twenty-year-old university student, comes to live with his new stepfather Nyx, a thirty-four-year-old CEO. Cold and remote with everyone else, Nyx repeatedly loses his restraint around the perceptive, forward Kael during late nights and tense family encounters. They move closer and pull away under the ethical weight of their stepfather–stepson status. Kael then discovers that Nyx was once cast out by his family over a same-sex relationship, a trauma behind his secrecy and fear of intimacy. Under pressure from business rival Marcus and their family, the two men must choose between imposed roles and genuine feeling, ultimately accepting the consequences together.
