description: One of the strangest love stories ever told begins with a shy Bible Kid (good with computers, but not so good with people) yearning to leave so much behind. Wanting to abandon things he believes he’s outgrown: his church, his friends, the town where he grew up. He’s impatiently waiting for his life to begin, until — one morning, after Sunday School — an unusual request from his teacher changes the whole landscape of what’s ahead.
