It’s 1981, and two Mormon missionaries randomly assigned to work together as ‘companions’ in Napoli find themselves in trouble. They’re falling in love, but the Church forbids gay relationships. As missionaries, they can’t date anyone at all, much less other men. If they’re found out, they’ll be excommunicated, sent home in disgrace, and cast out from their families.
In the aftermath of a devastating earthquake, against a backdrop of poverty and repressive mission culture, Elders Grant and Mortensen knock on doors, endure violent assaults, and face the ultimate challenge-will they be crushed by dedication to their beliefs or will love provide a way for them to escape?
