A quirky road-trip comedy-drama about an unlikely bond between a sheltered Christian housewife and her husband's estranged biological son, built on warmth, humor, and genuine human connection.

When a dutiful, albeit barren Christian housewife discovers that her devout husband has suffered a stroke at a sperm bank where he's been secretly donating his seed for the past 25 years, she leaves her sheltered world and starts off on a journey to find his eldest biological son - a mullet-headed, foul-mouthed ex-con with whom she develops an odd but meaningful relationship.
