“Are you down with G-O-D?†Good girl Mary (Celia Keenan-Bolger) and her domineering best friend Hilary Faye are starting their senior year at the top of the social food chain at American Eagle Christian High School – that is, until Mary’s boyfriend tells her he thinks he’s gay. When Jesus appears in a vision, and Mary heeds his message “to do everything she can to help him,†her good deeds are met with dire consequences, and Mary is forced to question everything she’s ever believed. Through it all, she finds faith in unexpected places and learns what it truly means to be saved.
