A warm, playful comedy about two small-town men forced to masquerade as a gay couple, built on fish-out-of-water humor and the unlikely friendship that deepens through their deception.

Two 'very straight' old timers have to learn how to pass as a loving gay couple after falsely claiming same-sex status to take advantage of newly legislated tax laws.
