Because his parents refuse to accept his homosexuality, Izaquiel has left home. He now lives among a queer circle of friends on the margins of society. As his day job, he recently started working as a caretaker at a rather unlikely place: an evangelical church run with an iron fist by pastor Eurico. At night, he cruises the mangrove forests near the city, where he encounters Jeremías, an enigmatic and attractive fisherman. Their passionate nighttime affair must remain secret in the highly conservative world of day, as they are under constant threat of violent attacks. But can these two worlds really be kept as separate as Izaquiel thinks?
