Two teenage boys, preacher's kid Henry Gamble (Cole Doman) and his friend Gabe (Joe Keery), have a sleepover the night before Henry's seventeenth birthday pool party. Typical teenage boy chat quickly turns sexual, and it's silently implied that Henry, on a search for identity, has a crush on Gabe. As dawn arrives on the day of the party, Henry's mom Kat (Elizabeth Laidlaw) wakes in a state of limbo, middle-aged, with a secret. A little while later, Pastor Bob (Pat Healy, CHEAP THRILLS) is making breakfast, and they are joined by Henry's 19-year-old sister Autumn (Nina Ganet), home from college for the party. Later that afternoon, as guests arrive - both from the church, as well as Henry's own "secular" friends - and day turns to night, Henry carefully navigate the religious strictures and sexual secrets of his community, as do the adults and teenagers of the party, all struggling to tread the public and private, and their longing, despite themselves and their faith, for earthly love.
