Synopsis
Brady (Sean Hoagland) is 18 has just moved with his mother Marty (Laura Jane Coles) to Rock Haven, a seaside community. There he meets Clifford (Owen Alabado), 19, and they are attracted to each other, except that Brady is torn between his and his family's Christian values and his attraction. Brady is, of course, deeply in the closet and is fighting to suppress his urges.
Brady's mother, sensing that something is wrong, tries to fix him up with a nice Christian girl - who knows immediately that he's gay. Brady, though fighting his "sinful" desires, is drawn to Clifford and their friendship eventually turns into love but, as soon as they go all the way, Brady's Christian panic clicks in again. Brady consults Reverend Brown (played by the director David Lewis himself) for guidance. Brady's shower scenes are a way to cleanse himself of these thoughts or sexual actions.
Brady's final decision is to give in to his parents' pressure and leave Rock Haven and Clifford behind.
