Summary: After finding an individual of ambiguous racial and gender identity sleeping on a church pew, members of the church in their small town in the American South begin taking turns playing host to the individual who, because they have not spoken a word (including their name) since being found in the church, is given the name “Pew.” As Pew moves from house to house, they become witness to both the community’s efforts to prepare for the mysterious Forgiveness Festival and to the inner lives of individuals in the town who begin sharing their innermost selves with them.
