Alex was almost 22 years old and married with two small children when his father and wife walked in on him with another man. His father immediately said that his son was dead. Alex had no way of knowing that it would be almost 16 years before he saw any of his family again.
The same day some 1500 miles away, 14-year-old Andrew was confronted by his parents about the gay magazines his mother had found under his mattress. His parents were a little more understanding. “We don’t understand why, but you are our son and we love you.”
Four years later fate caused them to meet. In the following years, Alex learns to accept himself. After the death of his ex-wife, he is awarded custody of two homophobic teenagers who have been taught that their father left because he didn’t want them. As he learns to be a father, he struggles for acceptance from his children and parents.
