Save Me

"Save Me" follows Mark (Chad Allen), a sex and drug-addicted young man who overdoses and finds himself at the mercy of his disapproving family. Their solution to Mark’s problems is to check him into a Christian-run ministry overseen by Gayle (Judith Light), who believes she can help cure young men of their ‘gay affliction’ through spiritual guidance. At first, Mark resists the efforts of Gayle and her loving husband Ted (Stephen Lang), but soon finds solace and brotherhood with several of the members, including Scott (Robert Gant), who is battling family demons of his own. When Mark and Scott begin to find their friendship developing into an unexpected romance, both are forced to confront the new attitudes they’ve begun to accept, and Gayle finds the values she holds as an absolute truth to be threatened. Directed by Robert Cary from a screenplay by Robert Desiderio, Save Me is a love story that offers a complex and timely examination of one of the most polarizing religious and sexual debates in America while intricately showing the way love (for oneself, most importantly) can heal in all its various forms.
