What if growing up in the church led you to believe you weren't going to grow up at all?

The story follows a gay man as he confronts the psychological trauma and homophobic conditioning inflicted by his strict religious upbringing. Through painful self-reckoning, he fights to overcome spiritual abuse, dismantle ingrained guilt, and reclaim his identity and mind.
