Thomas (Nico Tortorella) and Oscar (Juan Pablo di Pace) have spent a year as foster parents to a wonderful child, a calling that's shown them new dimensions of what "family" can mean. However, when the young boy is reunited with his birth mother, the couple's differing views on what the experience meant comes into focus. As Oscar’s career as an actor picks up and sends him out-of-state for months, a bewildered Thomas embarks on a journey to figure out what he wants from life and what it means to be gay in 2021, when so many possibilities have opened up for people who grew up thinking that marriage and children were closed off to them. Featuring an all-star supporting cast that includes Schitt's Creek's Emily Hampshire, Hacks' Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Heather Matarazzo, Jake Choi, and Cloie Wyatt Taylor.
