As part of the Baranow clan in Hamburg's Kiez, Timur Baranow, an MMA fighter with Dagestani roots, tries to hide a dangerous secret: he desires men. In a family whose name stands for strength, loyalty, and ruthless disdain for anything that doesn't fit their worldview, this could cost him everything.

Then he notices Mick. Confident, fearless, and a regular at the exclusive club Blinded Date. Mick, a social worker with a penchant for control and rebellion, quickly sees that Timur is hiding more than he admits. Behind the tough exterior, he recognizes a need for guidance, trust, and devotion. But without safety, without rules, and without a place where Timur's family won't find them, Mick hesitates to allow himself to feel.

Blinded Date could be such a place. Amid secret meetings, dangerous desire, and a family that would never forgive, both find themselves in a game where Timur could lose everything. His family. His freedom. Perhaps even his life.
