When Paul Whitmire's religious grandfather dies, he expects to have a quiet return to Bennett, Mississippi, where he was born and raised. He returns along with his partner Silvio to discover that his grandfather was not everything he seemed – and that the family's secrets are far more serious than a gay grandson.

Faced with decisions about their future and the family, Paul and Silvio find themselves maneuvering a delicate web of cover-ups, a family business, and old-South prejudices, not to mention the world of difference between their life in Miami Beach and the prospect of life in Bennett.
