A sharp-tongued widow, still raw with loss, must organize her husband’s memorial service alongside a complete outsider—the gay assistant of her long-estranged gay son.

Yet, against all odds, their unlikely bond becomes a surprising bridge for understanding, shared laughter, and emotional repair between a grieving mother and the surrogate son she never saw coming.
