Life in Portales, New Mexico isn't easy for high school bad girl Lily. Weekends mean endless cruising until the cough syrup kicks in. The boy she loves won't commit, she's surrounded by strident born-again Christians, and her budding sexuality is starting to earn her a reputation. To top it off, while others in her Sunday school class report visions of Jesus as Ronald Reagan or Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily's personal savior appears to her as a gangly, Spanish-speaking migrant worker.
