    What is Leviticus about?

    A teenager relocates with his mother to a devoutly religious Australian town and falls for another boy in secret. When a jealous outburst exposes the relationship, the two are subjected to a conversion-therapy ritual meant to 'cure' them — instead it tears open something monstrous, a force that turns each boy's own desire into a threat aimed at the other.
