Ο Ηρακλής είναι ένα αγόρι 15 ετών που ζει στην Αθήνα και που μόλις έχει αρχίσει το λύκειο. Την πρώτη μέρα στο σχολείο γνωρίζει τον Γιούρι, έναν συνομήλικο του από την Ουκρανία. Τα δύο αγόρια αναπτύσσουν μια καλή φιλία που θα εξελιχθεί σε έναν μεγάλο έρωτα. Όμως δεν είναι τόσο απλό.

Ποιος θα νικήσει; Τα συναισθήματα των δύο αγοριών ή αυτοί που προσπαθούν να καταπνίξουν αυτή την αγάπη;
