Mungo a James vyrůstají na sídlišti v Glasgow a měli by být zapřisáhlými nepřáteli – Mungo je protestant, James katolík. Jenže místo toho se do sebe zamilují. Mungo se usilovně snaží skrýt své pravé já, zejména před svým starším bratrem Hamishem, vůdcem místního gangu s brutální pověstí. To je však nic ve srovnání s tím, co přijde o několik měsíců později, když matka pošle Munga na rybářský výlet se dvěma podivnými muži, kteří z něj mají udělat „pořádného chlapa“. Mungo musí sebrat všechnu vnitřní sílu a odvahu, aby se dostal zpět na bezpečné místo, kde on a James ještě mohou mít budoucnost. Mladej Mungo je strhující příběh o hranicích mužství, o násilí, kterému čelí mnoho queer lidí, a o nebezpečí, jež hrozí, když někoho milujete příliš.
