Judah "Hay" El-Bara is a nineteen-year-old sacrificial bridegroom to a harvest goddess long worshipped by his traditionalist parents and community. For him to seed the harvest would be a lie. He isn't attracted to women. Embracing his sexuality, Hay begins a relationship with a stranger named Buck. But Buck isn't exactly what he seems. Buck is a mystical vessel of change. Hard work may bring salvation, but harder work can change the world.
