β¦ Synopsis
In a repurposed abbey deep in the mountains, Miranda must make her way through a maze of cryptic messages and personal demons to survive the cruel world of gay reparative therapy.
When Miranda Rothschildβs twin brother, Mark, commits suicide, Miranda and her parents move to the peaceful, seaside village of San Avila, Texas, looking to escape their pain. At her new school, Miranda finds herself especially drawn to Clara Schuler, a gentle, artistic girl who, despite the protectiveness of her friends, is bullied for being a lesbian. Miranda tentatively confronts her own sexuality, but just as she comes to terms with her feelings, her parents discover her relationship with Clara. Mirandaβs parents send her to a reparative therapy camp, Prodigal Ministries, run by the sadistic Dr. Caleb.
