Two athletic young men, Mark Brown and Josh Hodges, co-captains of their college swim team, flaunt their affection for each other. They feel it is wholesome and nothing for which to be ashamed. This behavior is noticed by others, especially church members, some of whom are less than tolerant. Mark’s parents, Doris and Frank Brown, are devout Christians and deeply troubled by Mark’s lifestyle. They consult with Assistant Pastor Dan only to learn that the church regards homosexuality as a sin and that homosexuals are believed to be possessed of the devil. Doris and Frank also reach out to a psychiatrist who attempts to help Mark. In their quest to learn more about their son’s orientation, they attend PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) meetings, talk with others, and research the subject on the Internet and at their library. A tragedy occurs that causes Doris to make a dramatic stand.
