Synopsis:

A vivid, dynamic Southern coming-of-age drama, takes place in the transitional space between high school and college, when life seems to be all questions and no answers, and the future is scarily wide open. Set in and around a Charleston, SC Baptist church, weaving through this ensemble piece are three main characters - Brea, an introspective pastor's daughter experiencing debilitating doubt, the hyperactive Laura, Brea's best friend and a devout believer, and Tim, the open-hearted son of a single father, confronting his homosexuality for the first time. Tensions and buried feelings abound, as colleges are chosen and adults behave badly, as Brea, Laura and Tim attempt to hang onto what they have, all the while yearning to break free.

The Wise Kids is a guileless exploration of the growing pains of sheltered innocents whose reticence and sincerity evoke 1950s small-town values. Brea is undergoing a serious crisis of faith that she is loath to admit. When called on to lead a prayer, she goes through the motions while exhibiting an uneasy sense of self-betrayal. Tim, who realizes that he is gay but probably hasn't acted on that awareness, insists that it doesn't conflict with his religious faith.
