A suburban community and a state of mind, The Master Plan explores Christian youth culture in America. Inspired by the neo-icons and modern myths of youth group pop-culture, we find KRISTI, a high-school Senior with seemingly supernatural powers, mystical dreams, and an affinity for existential detective films. Kristi`s social circles extend beyond church activities, so her fundamentalist parents demand that she `witness` her evangelical faith to her non-religious peers. At first, she backs out, deciding instead to try to convert her estranged Grandfather, a scientist. Failing miserably, she seeks the advice of youth counselor APRIL. Newly motivated, she unloads April`s more calculated plan on her teen friends, and they abandon her.
