A lighthearted musical comedy about an angsty teenager finding unexpected love and connection, balancing emo cynicism with genuine warmth and humor.

Ethan, a sullen high-school student whose life is defined by what he hates, finds love with a blindly optimistic Christian girl Trinity, much to the annoyance of his angst-filled band mates and her evangelistic brethren.
