Plot:

The movie revolves around a single day in the life of Henry, a 17-year-old preacher's kid, as he celebrates his birthday with a pool party. The guest list includes an eclectic mix of adults from his family church and his diverse group of teenage friends, who share both secular and religious backgrounds. Among them is the enigmatic Logan, a closeted young man clearly attracted to Henry but struggling with his own beliefs and emotions. As the day unfolds, relationships are tested, hidden truths emerge, and each character faces the challenges that arise as they navigate the complexities of adolescence and faith against the backdrop of a seemingly ordinary birthday party. The film explores themes of identity, acceptance, and self-discovery within the unique dynamics of a religious community, offering a compelling look at the universal human experience through the lens of one remarkable day in a young man's life.
