                                Synopsis
                                The Powers that be, think that three wayward students are in need of religious guidance, but their counsellor is more lost than they are. Emma, Erica and Jason have been sent on a religious retreat usually reserved for sixth years, who are about to leave school. Each has been accused of problem behaviour, which is deemed morally dubious and put into the hands of a young inexperienced counsellor Amy, who is new and just a little older than they are. Her views on sex, drugs and life in general seem too extreme for the students and what ensues is a battle of wits between the counsellor who wants them to know that Jesus is their Homie and three quick-witted students who don't want to listen.
