If only Taylor had kept on lying to his parents, everything would be fine, or so he told himself. When they found out he was gay, they sent him to Straight to God, an institution devoted to "deprogramming" teenagers and ridding them of whatever vice they have. Now Taylor has to try to change what cannot be changed, but in the meantime he meets all kinds of people there and discovers that no one, from staff to residents, is quite who they first appear to be.
