Asher Sharp is willing to give up everything for what he believes in. In the aftermath of a flood that washes away much of a small Tennessee town,evangelical preacher Asher Sharp offers shelter to two gay men. In doing so, ;he starts to see his life anew--and risks losing everything when he spouts a fiery sermon that quickly goes viral, and his congregation begins to shun him. Asher's wife, locked into her religious prejudices, convinces a court to question his love of his young son, Justin. With no way out but ahead, Asher takes Justin and flees to Key West, where he hopes to find his brother, Luke, whom he'd turned against years ago after Luke came out. And it is there, at the southernmost point of the country, that Asher and Justin discover a new way of thinking about the world, and a new way of understanding love.
