In the five years since the mysterious disappearance of her devoted boyfriend Christopher (Cody Linley), troubled student Sarah's (Sara Simmonds) supernatural encounters have grown increasingly vivid. Though her classmates have dismissed her heavenly visions as nothing more that the crazed ravings of a lovelorn attention seeker, there's something in Sarah's strange story and inexplicable fascination with Joan of Arc that determined high-school reporter Dave (Jake McDorman) can't seem to shake. As Dave slowly gains Sarah's trust and follows her to an isolated chapel to explore the true cause of her spiritual encounters, high-school rebel Alec (Matt Vodvarka) vows to claim Sarah's virginity at any cost and wear her corruption as a badge of honor. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Marrit Ingman, Austin Chronicle
By pushing an easy answer and ignoring the complexities of desire, the filmmakers don't speak authentically to a contemporary youth audience, no matter how much lip gloss they put on their heroine.
