Tensions rise as Hardy, the farmhand, mocks Tobias and encourages Sabina's son Adam to become an Elvis impersonator, while Ingelize from a nearby riding school pursues Tobias. The rural setting becomes suffocating for Tobias, but a sudden death traps him in escalating chaos. Translated from Swedish by Laura Wideburg, this novel explores complex family dynamics and the allure of forbidden desires.
