Summary

Teenage cousins Badge and Bryant make a pact to only get married if they've first gotten the girl pregnant out of wedlock. Bryant is unconvinced it's a good idea, but Badge fantasizes about the drama and notoriety it will bring him. After meeting a respected adult member of the church and hearing accusations against his chastity, the boys must examine their beliefs about what it means to be an adult man and what kind of men they want to grow up to be.
