Instead, he begins to receive letters from an anonymous, obsessive male admirer. Who is the man who has invaded Boaz’s life, and how does he know so much? Every man becomes a potential suspect as Boaz struggles to hide this clandestine correspondence from his girlfriend.

He becomes haunted by moments when he felt attracted to other men – Nir, his fellow soldier, or the German man who slept above him in a youth hostel. As his girlfriend becomes implicated in the mystery, Boaz is forced to confront questions about his own sexual identity once and for all.
