Passionate musician Rachel Dugard (16) “sexts” a photo of herself topless to her boyfriend, high school quarterback Jae Stroud (18), in church.  Jae is understandably overwhelmed.   And life is great.

But weeks later, the school’s popular social media website reports that Rachel is breaking up with Jae.   Jae’s friends, Michael and second-string QB Kevin, convince Jae that being the loser who gets dumped is no way to start senior year.  Not for a peer-directed jock.   Jae texts his breaks up to Rachel, throwing them both into a tailspin, since he discovers Rachel had no intention of breaking up.

Michel throw Jae a party to cheer him up, but despite hitting it off with a hot cheerleader,  Jae tells Michael he’s going to apologize and beg Rachel’s forgiveness.  But before the party ends, someone forwards Rachel’s sexted photo from Jae’s phone.

By morning, the photo is everywhere.   Jae tries to delete it from his friends’ phones, but can’t.  He tries to make up with Rachel, but she snubs him.  

Then her father Dave finds out Rachel’s photo hit a porn site!

Jae is arrested for distributing child pornography and faces registering as a sex offender.  Jae’s lawyer recommends counseling to offset the charges before the arraignment.  So Jae ends up in the office of Pascal, a Biblical counselor with a unique method for delving into his patient’s heart issues.   Jae goes along, but he also hatches a plan to clear himself by finding the one who sexted Rachel’s photo.

It's a funny and touching ride through counseling and investigations toward a thrilling end.
