Synopsis

Erez, a rising star on the elite swimming scene, arrives at a tough training camp with a singular aim - to win a fiercely contested place in the national Olympic team. Intense rivalry precludes any chance of friendship with his fellow athletes until, that is, Erez meets the handsome and talented Nevo, who unexpectedly stirs within him unconscious desires. As his resolve begins to falter, Erez must navigate a path through a heady mix of high-stakes competition and erotic longing in this electrifying and sexy drama.
