After their May/December affair in the hothouse of a summerstock theater production, John and Michael are back in New York City and facing the consequences of their summer fling.

Overwhelmed by the intensity of his new relationship, John struggles with the challenges of learning to date again while also coming out to his colleagues, his football rec league friends, and even his ex-wife.

But when he invites his parents over for Christmas, the holiday — featuring Michael’s family’s amateur production of Twelfth Night — quickly turns into a French farce of potentially catastrophic proportions, forcing John finally to take the lead in claiming his evolving identity even as he takes the next step in his relationship with Michael.
