PREMISE

Every Friday night, Tess knows where she’ll be: in a circle of chairs in the basement of Holy Rosary Church. But when a new girl joins their Youth Group, May finds herself falling hard in a whole new way. When their Youth Group gets invited to the Praise Ablaze worship conference, Tess becomes torn between her community, her church, and the powerful new truths emerging inside her.
