Philip Lester's father is the pastor of the town's popular, local church. Growing up in the church, it's been instilled in his mind that any other sexuality other than straight is wrong. Now that's it's becoming more accepted throughout the world, his dad, Jonathan, has been constantly reminding him that a lifestyle outside of what the young boy has been taught is unrighteous, a sin, and will result in him burning in Hell. Because of this, Phil doesn't mind the sexuality of others too much, but cannot accept his own. Daniel Howell is forced to join the church after his mom, Lisa, decides that he needs to be more religious. Dan is a rebellious teenager who finds joy in living life on the edge, quite the contrary from Phil. Dan spots Phil during the service and instantly becomes intrigued.

Dan Howell had been at a Catholic school all of his life. He ate, breathed and lived as a good Christian boy should. However, it didn't fit him, he didn't feel right promising himself to a God he didn't fully believe in. With countless rules Dan wasn't sure he could live his life to eternally, he starts to wonder if this life is his, or his parents.
Suddenly, as he begins to doubt everything he's ever been taught, a reformer is brought to St Patricia's, somebody who has the power to change everything; as cliche as it sounds. Dan begins to feel things he ought not to as a good Christian boy, but not every rule is okay to be broken.
