Bev and Shelly's 4-year-old son wants to know what men are like. Seeking a live-in role model, they turn to Reed, their good friend, to play surrogate dad. But when they learn that Reed hopes to reunite with and share this role with Jason, his restless, complicated ex, the plan turns into an emotional minefield. A fascinating, wry and modern take on family values.
