The Seminarian is a story about Ryan, a closeted gay student in his final
semester of seminary studies. Despite his school's hostile stance towards
homosexuality, Ryan has two gay classmates - Gerald and Anthony - in
whom he secretly confides. He is also close to his religiously devout mother
who, as things stand, is unaware of his sexual orientation.

Ryan needs to complete a solid theological thesis in order to continue doctoral
work at the university of his dreams. As he works on his thesis 'The Divine Gift
of Love,' Ryan begins a relationship with Bradley - a guy he has met on the
Internet who seems perpetually unable to commit himself. Ryan confides in
Gerald and Anthony, only to learn about their romantic struggles as well.
Consequently, Ryan questions his views on God's gift of love.

During this volatile time, with the pain of unrequited love and the inability to
share his fears with his mother deepening, Ryan struggles with finishing his
thesis and holding on to his faith in love.
