Movie description:
A fourteen year old boy who is gay is struggling with self-acceptance, reconciling who he is with his belief in God, and grappling with the decision of whether or not he should come out to his family.
On his 14th birthday, Ian Foster reaches a critical point in his life where he realizes that he can no longer withstand the burden of his self-denial that he is gay. But he feels he cannot come out to his mother, Linda, who has strong views against the gay community and takes great pride in believing that her son is a »ladies man«. Believing that his best friend, Jessica, is the only person in whom he can confide, Ian fears that revealing his true self to his family and friends will mean losing their love and acceptance forever.
