Synopsis
After a glass of wine at a birthday brunch, May announces that she’s going to turkey baste her way into pregnancy. That same morning, David tells his husband Robert that he wants to adopt. It’s November 8, 2008 — four days after Prop 8 passed in California.
This dark comedy delves into the lives of six individuals living just on the outskirts of their suburban California town, trying to find their own definition of family in this heteronormative community they call “home.”
