Kyrie

Kyrie is the story of a bunch of high school kids in the aftermath of a school shooting, and about how they cope with this disaster that comes to them out of the blue, while also struggling with all the other things kids struggle with, like sex, and drugs, and parents, and school, and their gradually coalescing identities. The protagonist, and narrator, is in the midst of a religious crisis, bouncing between his overwhelming desire to sleep with his very chaste Mormon girlfriend, and his duties as an altar boy, escaping from both with his stoner friends. It builds to a violent and surprising climax involving the narrator's girlfriend and sister, that leaves the narrator religiously and personally beached in a new life.
