Storyline
Gay couple Ace and Darby must lie that they are 'straight roommates' every time Ace’s Dad has a life threatening memory loss episode. This forces Ace to delay the inevitable choice: telling his Dad he's queer or continue living a lie with his boyfriend, Darby. Imagine ‘50 First Dates’ meets ‘The Farewell"!
