At American Eagle Christian High School, Mary and her friend Hilary are seniors. Mary’s boyfriend Dean tells her that he may be homosexual, and Mary has a religious vision. In her vision, she is advised to help him. However, her attempts at good deeds go awry, and she questions her faith and beliefs.
