"Careful what you wish for," and, "If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is." Two clichées that couldn't be more fitting. When Martin finds out he's dying, the Devil steps in to make him an offer he couldn't refuse.
Lebanese-English fourteen-year-old boy, Amir, goes with his submissively gay father, Afram, on holiday in Turkish Cyprus in 1986. Amir wants to go the same way sexually as his father, but has not been taken there yet. His father hooks up with a hunky Danish UN contingent soldier, who also has the eye for Amir. A muscular Turkish fisherman sees Amir, though, and might just get there first. Amir doesn’t really care who is first as long as someone relieves him of the burden.
