Good girl Mary, (Jena Malone) and her domineering best friend Hilary Faye (Mandy Moore) are starting their senior year at the top of the social food chain at American Eagle Christian high school - that is until Mary's boyfriend tells her he thinks he might be gay. When Jesus appears in a vision, she receives his message to "do everything she can to help him" and, to her horror she ends up pregnant. Suddenly, Mary begins to question everything she's believed in, and Hillary Faye and her devoted "disciples" (including Heather Matarazzo) turn against her. As an outcast, Mary finds herself alone until she's befriended by the school's other pariahs: Hilary Faye's cynical, wheelchair bound brother, Roland (Macaulay Caulkin): the principal's skater heartthrob son, Patrick (patrick Fugit); and the school's lone Jew, and exuberant rebel named Cassandra (Eva Amurri). In this sweetly subversive comedy, a group of out siders band together to navigate the treacherous halls of high school and make it to graduation, ultimately learning more about themselves, finding faith in unexpected places, and realizing what it truly means to be Saved!
