Seventeen-year-old Adam Thorn is having a day where everything seems to be falling apart. Between his evangelical family's silent disapproval of his sexuality, a difficult ultimatum from his boss, and his lingering feelings for his ex-boyfriend, he is struggling to find his footing. Over the course of this single summer Saturday, Adam must navigate these shifting relationships and decide what he is ready to let go of to finally find his own freedom. Meanwhile, a parallel supernatural presence stirs in a nearby lake, mirroring his search for peace.
