Brother Pío's spent his entire life in a secluded Spanish monastery where he hides a fearful secret. Not only is he attracted to men, he also finds pleasure in pain. Instead of offering a path to sanctity, the thongs of his whip drive him into a flurry of lustful thoughts and desires.
When Brother Matthew, a monk and traveling scholar, arrives he turns Pío's world upside down. The man gives Pío the pain and release he needs, but at what cost? As Matthew helps Pío come to terms with his conflicted feelings, their relationship gives way to danger when the other monks grow suspicious.
However, Matthew can't remain in Son Rullan forever forcing Pío to choose where his loyalties lie: with the Church or with his lover?
