Dr. Helen Hand is drowning in student debt, the repo man is stalking her Saab, and she has zero prospects. What the hell was she thinking getting a PhD in English Lit? So when Grace Bible College calls offering her a teaching job, she drunkenly agrees to leave Berkeley, California, and move to rural Kansas. The problem - she’s an agnostic and gluten intolerant. She enters a world of rigid moral rules: no smoking, no alcohol, no interracial dating, and no sex.

 

She sets out to take this fundamentalist college into the twenty-first century.  A few short months later, when Donald Trump comes to campus to speak during the college’s Spiritual Emphasis Jamboree, Dr. Hand has already managed to screw everything up - the quarterback is wearing a dress, the campus chapter of Masturbators Anonymous is losing membership, and “doubt” has entered the lexicon. With her days numbered, there is only one thing she can do - fall in love with Dick Cheney. This small-cast comedy looks at our need for faith and doubt and comes up with a surprising conclusion about both.
