But when Gem, a rebellious transfer student with a dark past, enters his life, Fot is forced to confront the one question he has always feared:

"If a man falls in love with another man, will he still be able to go to heaven?"

Torn between his faith and forbidden desires, Fot is assigned by Father Krist to guide Gem back onto the righteous path. Yet, as their worlds collide, Fot finds himself drawn to the very thing he was warned against. Amid bullying, betrayal, and hidden sins lurking within the school's sacred walls, the two boys form a fragile connection one that threatens to unravel everything Fot once believed.
