But what about an older parent for whom coming out was an almost impossible option. What happens to a typical suburban middle class family when the seemingly straight father is sexually closeted the whole time, and tries to live a heterosexual lifestyle? How do decades of denial and sexual repression shape the dynamic between mother and sons? And how does it affect his favorite son and his relationship with women, and his mother? What starts as a casual dinner between father and son soon evolves into an explosive evening of discovery and painful revelations.
