When David announces that he wants to adopt, it throws his husband Robert for a loop. This is the first time they’ve ever talked about kids, and it’s only days after the November 2008 presidential election — an election that put their marriage in legal jeopardy. That same afternoon, his best friend May announces that she’s going to have a baby. The only problem? She’s not pregnant yet. This dark comedy about the California suburbs examines what happens when Robert tugs at loose threads, and ends up unraveling his entire life.
