Mary Griffith (Weaver) is a devout Christian who has raised her children with a conservative religious perspective. When her son, Bobby (Ryan Kelley), reveals that he is gay to his older brother, the entire family dynamic is forever shifted. While Bobby's father and siblings slowly come to terms with his homosexuality, Mary turns to her steadfast beliefs in an attempt to "cure" her son. Alienated and quickly becoming more detached from the safety of his close-knit family, Bobby's depression drives him to take drastic - and tragic - actions. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

For me, one of the most compelling and powerful films dealing with gay issues. I have to say at the outset that you can tell right away that this is a TV movie, but that's not a bad thing at all, it's even the ideal format for such dramas. From start to finish, the film is full of emotion and reflection, and all the elements play to the film's strengths, from the technical aspects (the cinematography, the cuts between the two time periods, and the music) to the strong script to the convincing performances; Sigourney Weaver once again proves that she is a great actress. A film that, despite its small budget, is perfect in virtually every way. It highlights how some among us cannot cope with the difference that is ingrained in human nature. I applaud and give it both thumbs up!
