Emmy Quinn is West Texas through and through. She loves her community, but she knows that when she comes out as a lesbian, she may not be able to call Steinbeck--which is steeped in the Southern Baptist tradition--home anymore. Her father is offered a dream job coaching high school football, but the school board says that he can't accept the position if he's got any skeletons in his closet. Steve is still wrestling with Emmy's coming-out: he loves his daughter, but he's a man of faith, raised in the Baptist community. How can God ask him to choose between his dreams and his own daughter?
