Plot

A story of two men settling in discovering love notwithstanding being a congregation worker. Love comes in numerous structures, in numerous countenances, in whatever circumstance you are in. Zach (Clifford Pusing), is ordered by the educational committee to turn into an altar server as a discipline for an offense he submitted. The board accepts this will get him far from regular wicked exercises. The special stepped area workers follow a mate pal framework where the sheep (a term used to allude to amateurs) is collaborated with a senior church youth, called the shepherd. In light of his reputation, Zach is relegated as the sheep of the top of the shepherds, Christian (Henry Villanueva). Zach, albeit a force to be reckoned with tri-competitor, is fizzling in scholastics. In the interim, Christian is an achiever all around — Prom King, Mr. Nourishment Month, Ginoong Agham, Mr. Sportsfest, Campus King, and President of the Altar Servers. What unfolds among Zach and Christian is more trying than a manly relationship, making the story "courageous and freeing", as dir.[5]
