"You have been found guilty of multiple robberies and are sentenced to five years hard labour." Gary, a young man in and out of jail, has finally been sentenced to hard labour to the cold north that is Scotland. Never having any direction in his life, he was now being sent to a place where his future looked even worse than it already did. As he arrives at the large estate where he serves his sentence, he meets David, the young Marquis. The handsome young lord inspects Gary and seems to find him to his liking, and Gary finds this attention somehow flattering... The Marquis gives him a choice either to work miserably on the fields in the freezing cold or comfortably inside the house. Determined to live out his sentence with as little suffering as possible, Gary jumps at the chance to work in the estate, however, the offer is not without a condition: he is to become the young aristocrat's lover. Gary soon realizes that maybe labour may not be so hard after all.
