After hearing about a new ?cancer? that?s targeting people like him, a gay kids reality becomes much scarier than fiction in 1982 small town Indiana. Based on actual events, ten-year-old Billy joins a fundamental Baptist Church to avoid ?God?s Punishment? and try to pray away the feelings for his fourth grade crush but, instead, finds himself fighting for his young life which lies the hands of a church, community, and family that doesn?t want him to exist.
