Martin and his young, excitable, but loving single mother have a rough existence--Martin's a little odd, obsessed with cleanliness, and has trouble making friends, while Mom works multiple steady but boring jobs to support them both, all the while dreaming of a career doing special effects make-up for the gross, over-the-top horror movies that she and Martin both love. When Mom has a chance to go to Toronto and work on a real slasher film, the only problem is what to do with Martin for the summer. To give his mom the chance to follow her dream, Martin reaches out to his estranged grandparents and begs them to send him to Bible Camp for the summer.
Martin is a little overwhelmed at Bible Camp: he gets along better with the girl across the lake rather than the boys in his cabin, and he doesn't really understand all the Jesus talk. But there are lots of new people to talk to, and lots of fun stuff to do, and after all, it's for his mom. She's given up so much for him. Surely he can tough this out for her.
