노아는 남자 친구와 친구들이 있는 동네를 뒤로하고 엄마의 새 부자 남편 저택으로 이사를 가게 된다. 의붓오빠 닉과는 첫 만남부터 삐걱댔지만 곧 서로에게 이끌려 금지된 관계를 맺는다. 반항심과 고뇌로 가득 찬 그들의 인생은 송두리째 흔들리고 둘은 결국 뜨거운 사랑에 빠진다.
If you were to make a sign that reveals something about yourself you want to hide from the world and hold it in public, what would it say? That’s the question Vulnerable Rally asks of its participants as we cut past the niceties and social graces to which we conform into the very heart of that which makes us human. Our fears, our shames, our frailties, our prejudices—when these shadow parts of ourselves come to light, they not only have the chance to free us, they can also free those who pass us by. And here, connected by our common humanity, we discover we are not alone. Vulnerable Rally is the backdrop of Mikey Pauker’s, RISE, which too is rallying cry for its listeners to rise up both in strength and in vulnerability—a sentiment echoed by the song’s refrain, “Don’t let this world lock you out of your soul.”
