Can you forgive yourself?

A dark exploration of guilt, forgiveness, and the consequences of youthful misdirection, centered on a friendship fractured by a prank with tragic repercussions.

Sam can't think of any sins to tell the priest at his first confession. He worries that he won't be a real Catholic if the priest doesn't absolve him of some misdeed. Jacob, Sam's friend, devises a solution in the form of a prank, but the result is tragic.
