Plot

Colin is a young gay man, living with his parents (including his mother, who has terminal cancer), who meets Ray, the older and very handsome leader of a biker gang. After some initial hesitation, Ray initiates Colin into a BDSM relationship, in which Colin cooks, cleans, and shops for Ray, sleeps on the floor, and obeys his every command. He also joins Ray’s biker gang, and goes on trips with them.

After a few months, Colin’s parents begin asking to meet Ray and are worried by how little Colin knows about Ray. At Colin’s birthday, Ray refuses to give Colin a present or celebrate — until the next day, when the bikers throw a suprise party and roadtrip for Colin.

Ray eventually relents and agrees to meet Colin’s parents, resulting in a confrontation with Colin’s mother. She accuses Ray of being too mean to Colin, and too mysterious. Ray tells her that her worldview is “backwards” and storms out.

A few weeks later, after Colin’s mother dies, he has a breakdown while cooking for Ray and burns his hand. Ray helps him and then invites him into his bed. The two share a bed for the first time. The next day, Colin asks Ray if they can sleep together more often, and Ray refuses. Colin asks Ray for a day off from his submissive status, and Ray refuses. Colin runs out of the house, stealing Ray’s bike and riding into the night. When he returns in the morning, Ray relents and agrees to spend a day as a normal couple. The two go to the cinema and a restaurant and run in the park. During this excursion we see a different, softer side of Ray — he’s very funny, outgoing, and kind. In the park, the two kiss for the first time.

After the day off, Ray disappears entirely, despite Colin’s attempts to locate him. He returns to his normal life with his father. In an epilogue, we see him signing up for a dating app and entering into a new BDSM relationship — but this time, he sets rules for himself beforehand.
