This is the thoughtful story of Taylor Adams. After telling his parents he is gay he is shipped off to Straight to God, an institution devoted to "deprogramming" troubled teenagers and ridding them of their vices.

Life inside the institution is difficult, every movement is watched and there is no such thing as privacy, here appearances are not what they seem.

Taylor learns more than he ever dreamed about love, courage, rebellion, and betrayal - but the most surprising lessons will be the truths he uncovers about himself.

He bravely says I know God doesn't make mistakes, and if I'm gay it's because that's what he wanted. What you wanted. And I think the challenge is to get everyone else to see that. This is their test, not mine.
