The Wages is the story of a young man whose life is forever changed by a first love he fails to put behind him. The effects of it shape the entire course of his life. Being unable to form relationships, he continually totters the edge of self-destruction and only his oft-forgotten faith keeps him from falling forever into the abyss. His is not the faith of Sunday school platitudes, but the real world of sin, its consequences and the struggle for redemption. It is not only the faith of centuries-old text, but also the close relationship with a loving God.
