When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the adjustment to his new high school.

When the Reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her heart on Ren, her boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation and many of the locals are eager to believe the worst about the new kid.
