Spoilers ahead
Every summer, children from a strict fundamentalist Catholic community in the suburbs of New Jersey attend Camp Hope, a secluded retreat hidden deep in the woods where the curriculum centers on sin and salvation. The head priest, Fr. Phineas McAllister, Bruce Davison, leads the lessons, pressing the idea that every thought and action carries the weight of sin and that temptations of the flesh must be acknowledged and controlled.
At the heart of this rigid world is Tommy Leary, Will Denton, a boy already haunted by the recent death of his grandfather and preoccupied with what lies beyond life. His innocent relationship with his childhood crush, Melissa, Valentina de Angelis, grows more intimate, and the two slip away into the woods for a private moment.
