Piet's money, connections, and heritage, leave them with the ability to immigrate to the Netherlands where being gay is legal. Money however does not buy acceptance, between family members and society judging Piet and Cian for their love. They are faced with one of the worst nights of both their lives, and now they have to find out if love truly is enough. Or if society's pressure and expactation will break them until they go back to what they were, unhappy, lonely, hidden but accepted on a surface level.
