Synopsis

Spoiler shield

This is a fast-paced comedy about a 40-year-old gay man who finds himself dating two equally lovable men - a secure 50-year-old who came out later in life, and an adventurous 30-year-old who wasn't looking for a relationship. What he doesn't find out right away is that the two men are, in fact, father and son. And as they say, wackiness ensues.

“Falling in love with the boy next door? That's a dream come true. Falling in love with his father, too? That's just awkward.”
