Kettle is a state of mind, where our faith and desires collide, and the choices we make in these crossroads shape who we are as human beings.
16 year-old Kris Cali, is suspended from school after a violent rampage against a classmate, James. While suspended, Kris becomes more conscious of his fractured existence. He is torn between his devoutly religious mother and the inner turmoil of his adolescence, where his hidden homosexual desires for his best friend, Andre, bubbles to the surface. After unexpectedly reuniting with his exuberant sister, Claudia, he decides to sew the tear in his world and express his desires in a community that condemns his sexuality.
