Christ Cherish, a church in a small suburb outside of Chicago, is heading into the Summer of 2021 full force. Vacation Bible School is their biggest youth event of the summer, and Danielle is the new VBS leader in town. Danielle is home for the Summer, and needs money to buy a car. She doesn't expect her Summer at VBS to make an impact, but when she's faced with a handful of rambunctious High Schoolers, she realizes that she can use her position of power to make a difference in their lives. Chaos ensues when Danielle makes the bold decision to take the group on a trip to Chicago, where we find these young adults forced into situations that will set the tone for the rest of their lives. In a "School of Rock" meets Church Camp serio-drama, "Small Souls" explores the complexities of faith, organized religion, queerness and identity.
