The story revolves around a nun, Sister Jamison Connelly, who deals with her sordid past and the people around her with her acerbic wit and wisdom. When Sister Jamison agrees to sponsor a gay 19-year-old drug user and hustler in an effort to help him combat his addiction, her own faith is ultimately tested. HIGH explores the universal themes of truth, forgiveness, redemption and human fallibility.
“"...there’s no denying that Ms. Turner’s gorgeous voice and elegant diction are a pleasure to hear. You may find yourself wondering how a nun whose previous life experience did not include a stint in drama school acquired such an authoritative stage presence and grand vocal manner. "” (New York Times)
