- Synopsis
- In the early ’90s, gay teen Jaime (Anwen O’Driscoll) is sent to live with her devout Jehovah’s Witness relatives after the death of her father. Jaime makes an unexpected connection with Marike (June Laporte), daughter of a prominent Witness Elder. The two are instantly drawn to each other and begin a secret, unspoken romance. But when their attraction becomes too obvious to hide, the community moves to separate the two, forcing them each to make a terrible choice between faith and love.
