Atheist new-student Michael assumes St. Clare's will be full of "mindless Catholic sheep" but finds himself welcomed into Heretics Anonymous, a secret group for students whose beliefs don't align with the Catholic school's doctrine. The group begins taking subversive action at Michael's encouragement; eventually, Michael goes too far. This frequently hilarious story presents a thought-provoking look at faith, questioning but ultimately respectful of Catholicism and other beliefs.
