handsome leader of a motorbike club, who then takes him on as his submissive.
Ray uproots Colin from his dreary suburban life, introducing him to a community of
kinky, queer bikers and taking all sorts of virginities along the way. But as Colin steps
deeper into Ray's world of rules and mysteries, he begins to question whether the life
of a 24/7 submissive is for him. Has he found his calling, or simply swapped one form of suffocation for another?
