Phaethon, a handsome priest of the sun god, is ordered to teach Cerberus about sex so he can fulfill his assigned purpose, but their lessons soon become complicated by a growing emotional connection. Caught between rigid social status, political expectations, and their own loneliness, the two men discover that what begins as an obligation may become something much more meaningful.
