Obsessed by leather, Tyrone finally summons the courage to come out as a bottom. Eager to gain experience, he undergoes his initiation into the world of BDSM at the hands of several masters. One of these top men, the rough-edged Spike, stimulates and satisfies Tyrone beyond his wildest imaginings. But when Tyrone hopes for more from their relationship, the emotionally aloof Spike backs off -- and introduces Tyrone to his friend, the wealthy and sophisticated Master Leopold.

But, still in thrall to Spike, Tyrone wrestles with the question, “Is it possible for two men to be involved in a master-slave relationship, and still love each other?”
