Spoilers ahead
RJ Smith is a young man raised in a small Idaho town, deeply rooted in his Mormon faith and family life, where a two-year church mission after high school is the expected path. He shines in sports, especially wrestling, and has kept a long relationship with his girlfriend for three years. The church’s code of conduct forbids sex outside marriage, so their closeness remains mostly chaste, with only light affection. A chance encounter in a park exposes him to a reality his faith hasn’t prepared him for: same-sex attraction. The revelation unsettles him, but the church’s teachings paint such desires as sin, threatening eternal consequence. He chooses to bury what he discovers, attempting to move forward, even as the question continues to simmer beneath the surface.
