As dawn arrives on the day of the party, Pastor Bob is making breakfast, and they are joined by Henry's 19-year-old sister Autumn. Later that afternoon, guests begin to arrive. As day turns to night and clothes come off, Henry & co carefully navigate the religious strictures and sexual secrets held within the community, all struggling to tread the public and private, and their longing, despite themselves and their faith, for earthly love.
