A tangled love affair between two young men who start as antagonists but eventually fall deeply in love. A fundamentalist church with an evil Pastor.

A young man, fed up with his abusive parents and fearing they would have him shipped to an offshore torture facility leaves home to start his life elsewhere, only to get caught up in events well beyond his control.
