A young man struggles to sort out his feelings and his future as a wave of intolerance sweeps through a college town in this
drama.
Peter Thompson (
Brendan P. Hines) was a student at a seminary studying to be an Episcopalian minister, until a tragic incident involving another student caused him to question his faith and his calling.
Peter moves to a college town in Vermont, where he gets a job in a pizza joint run by
Mike (
Peter Onorati), and reconnects with
Father Ed (
A. Martinez), a gruff but caring streetwise priest who had been
Peter's mentor.
Peter also renews his friendship with a buddy from school,
Alex (
Kris Park), who introduces
Peter to his good friend
Rachel (
Elizabeth Banks).
Rachel is quite attracted to
Peter, and before long she's deprived him of his virginity. While
Peter tries to sort out the new changes in his life, a shocking gay bashing incident soon polarizes the town, and
Father Ed steps forward to publicly announce that he's a homosexual -- and
Mike is his lover. As tensions between anti-gay extremists and pro-gay activists increase, the murder of a gay man brings matters to a boil, and forces
Peter,
Rachel, and
Alex to come to terms with their identities as well as their pasts.
