Damien, the son of a military family, lives in barracks in south-western France with his mother, a doctor, while his father is away in the Central African Republic. As a gay teenager, Damien is given a hard time by a boy at school, Tom, whose adoptive mother falls ill. The repulsion and violence they display to one another takes on a darker shade when Damien's mother decides to take in Tom to live with them.
