The powers of the flesh are poison. There's a rumor in Eli's town that virgin boys who wander the forest alone always get eaten.

Young Eli draws the unlikely eye of a stranger just passing through to town. Their attraction is quick like the whip of a lash that stretches tight and suffocating. Neither wants to let go but with rumors surrounding his mysterious admirer threatening to tear them apart, what will Eli be willing to do to find out the truth?

He was never one to believe the tales of Verona but what will he do when Romeo comes knocking?
