Synopsis: Janie's got a gun - an unlicensed, shiny, silver security blanket. Not quite eighteen and searching for a sense of order and security in her life, Janie is just days away from entering the Flowers of God. A uniquely Southern Californian cult, Flowers is the brainchild of Eden, the vilified former host of the wildly successful TV talk show, Trash Talk. Eden discovered God while serving jail time for statutory rape, where he miraculously transformed from lascivious con man to celestial sage. Sharon, Janie's mother, is a steely narcissist who has hired a ruthless team of deprogrammers to find and return Janie to her "rightful owner."
...But everything changes when John, a forty-year-old magazine editor and aspiring screenwriter, stumbles upon Sharon's plan and decides to intercept Janie before the deprogrammers can. In a split-second, life-changing decision to save Janie from her fate, John discovers a point of resolve and certainty which had been missing from his own misconstrued life.
