HE: A remarkable tale of romance and resilience

Preacher’s kid Jackson and orphaned Oren grow up in the same dusty, poor, bible-thumping farm town. When they meet at 16, they discover they have more in common than just their roots and brutal upbringing. Together they begin to explore their orientation and their burgeoning love for each other. When they are threatened with consignment in conversion camp, they abruptly leave town together. Oren attends college, while Jackson learns a trade. In their new surroundings, they discover friends and a sense of safety for the first time.

Forty years later, when a shocking act of betrayal destroys their relationship, each is left wondering if there can be love after the apocalypse as they look back on a past they cannot change and a future they cannot predict.
