Dr. Helen Hand is drowning in student debt, dodging the repo man stalking her Saab, and wondering why on earth she got a PhD in English Literature. When Grace Bible College offers her a teaching position, she drunkenly agrees to swap Berkeley for rural Kansas. The catch? She’s an agnostic—and gluten intolerant.

 

Thrown into a world governed by strict moral codes—no smoking, no drinking, no interracial dating, and definitely no sex—Helen embarks on a mission to drag this fundamentalist college into the twenty-first century. Months later, chaos reigns: the quarterback is rocking a dress, the campus chapter of Masturbators Anonymous is hemorrhaging members, and the word “doubt” has made its scandalous debut in the college lexicon.

 

Things hit a crescendo when Donald Trump shows up to speak at the Spiritual Emphasis Jamboree, just as Helen’s tenure spirals into utter bedlam. As her time at Grace Bible College ticks down, she faces one last twist—falling for none other than Dick Cheney.

 

This sharp, small-cast comedy delves into our complex relationship with faith and doubt, offering a hilariously unexpected conclusion about both.
