Strings Detached

As a boy, Jake experienced the death of his parents while he was exploring his sexuality and discovering his faith. As an adult, this trauma from his past has turned him into an alcoholic pastor living a hermetic—and celibate—existence. Mostly, he is content with this life, except for his fear that God is not real after all; or is it the fear that He is very real indeed?

Jake’s routine is interrupted by the arrival of two women, Lily and Eve, and Jake’s estranged brother Benny. His past, something he’d tried his best to forget, comes crashing into him at a nearly fatal speed. As we journey through a tale of addiction, identity, love and religion, Jake is left with a choice: to continue his descent into self-loathing and isolation or embrace the new life that he accidentally stumbled into.
