Cameron Post's life changes completely when her boyfriend catches her with another girl in the back seat of a car on prom night. Her aunt and guardian ships her off to a therapy centre for "teenagers struggling with same-sex attraction". At the facility, Cameron is subjected to outlandish discipline, obvious de-gaying methods, and earnest Christian rock songs. But this unusual setting also introduces her to an unlikely community who instantly become her new family.
