Wounded by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan and suffering post traumatic stress as a result, Andy Johnson is given a medical discharge from the British army. Shunning attention, Andy lives a quiet and lonely existence on his pig farm in Yorkshire. His peace is threatened when his friends take him to the city for his birthday. They buy him a kiss from Luke Wales, a twink porn star.
Overwhelmed and needing some air, Andy escapes outside. Luke finds him there. They talk and Andy begins to relax. Itβs cold and Andy gives Luke his combat jacket. However Roger, Lukeβs boyfriend appears and the momentary connection is lost.
Weeks later, recently separated from Roger, Luke is back in the north of England. He decides to pay Andy a visit, using the excuse of returning the manβs jacket. A snow storm forces the two men to spend time together, and a tentative friendship begins.
Neither man is convinced they are worthy of the other. It takes time, plus the encouragement of friends and Andyβs teenage nephew, Craig, to convince the reluctant couple that what exists on the surface only tells part of the story. Andyβs scars and Lukeβs past employment shouldnβt stand in the way of them exploring what each feels for the other.
