The narrative follows Robert Anderson, a gay Mormon missionary in Italy, grappling with the oppressive expectations of his faith while striving to save both himself and others. Amidst a backdrop of personal turmoil, including a devastating earthquake and clashes with corrupt mission leaders, he faces the harsh realities of cultural imperialism. His life takes a transformative turn upon meeting another missionary who loves him, leading to profound changes in his understanding of identity and belonging.

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. Will they be crushed by dedication to their beliefs, or will love provide a way for them to escape?
