Synopsis
With the intentions of an overbearing school board, intent on returning order back to Prudence Prep, an all-girls school, the students are already under duress. When a trans student enters the picture, however, things get even more complicated and heinous. After being separated from the throng and forced into an abandoned bathroom "for her own safety," Hope and her only ally Alexis, discover "confessions" of their peers and peers' past that reveal just how deep this nasty culture runs. Instead of revenge, they decide to provide refuge for others, giving them kindness where it was obviously lost, in hopes that it can turn the school around. But with the machinations of the shady School Board and the spineless Administration pulling the strings of zealous Christina, who thrives off being aligned with this power, can the Confessional enact kindness effectively?
