Paul, a religious high-school senior who lives in a small, conservative town, finds his world turned upside down when he meets Manuel. Manuel says he's both Christian and gay, two things that Paul didn't think could coexist. Doesn't the Bible forbid homosexuality? As Paul struggles with Manuel's interpretation of the Bible, thoughts that Paul has long tried to bury begin to surface, and he finds himself reexamining his whole life. When Manuel is left for dead after a vicious beating, Paul is finally able to reconcile the conflicts plaguing him and take a stand to help Manuel.
