Following a heartbreak, two best friends embark on a day of refuge. What first started as a day of joyriding through the city quickly escalates into an adventure of revenge and exposed secrets; Raúl Morán invites Diego, his childhood best friend, over with his family to unveil their biggest secret. As the three-course dinner goes on, the family will unmask their reality and discover that they are not as different as they thought before the gathering; Theo, a young American, moves to Mexico on a whim without telling his family. As he navigates his new life, new home, and new friends (and ignores his mother’s worried calls) he’s forced to reconcile his desire to discover himself with the noticeable lack of any sort of plan; with the help of his supportive mother, Frankie, a young Puerto Rican man, prepares for his first performance as a Drag Queen while trying to keep it a secret from his disapproving father.
