After a long stay at a ex-gay conversion camp, James returns to the family farm cured of his 'ailment'. Finally no longer gay! But the forced hetero facade starts to crumble. "The emotionally wrenching drama FAIR HAVEN pushes back against the faulty practice of ex-gay conversion therapy without turning heavy-handed." (Los Angeles Times) He does everything to get a few crumbs of affection from his distant dad, who expects him to take over the farm one day. James neglects his extraordinary talent on the piano, goes to the church group and even starts dating a girl. Memories of the time before his camp stay and of his first great love, Charlie, are repressed. However, Charlie has not given up hope and starts to fight for James, despite all the adverse circumstances.
