Two devout young women (Mandy Moore and Jenna Malone) are starting their senior year at the American Christian High School. When one finds out that she not only
is pregnant, but that her boyfriend is gay and he's been sent to a Christian treatment center for "de-gayification," she is confused about everything in her life. She begins to question her best friend's motives and what being a Christian really means. Also with Macaulay Culkin, Chad Faust and Patrick Fugit. Directed by Brian Dannelly. [1:33]
