Eric (Tom Cavanagh) lives for all things hockey.  Now in his thirties, he’s managed to turn his stint as an ex- Toronto Maple Leaf into a full-time gig as commentator for sports TV.  He’s living the dream! He and his partner Sam (Ben Shenkman), a lawyer,  live discreetly on a tree-lined street in Toronto.

All their tranquility is disrupted when they receive news that Sam's brother Billy’s ex-girlfriend has died, leaving custody of her son Scot (Noah Bernett) to Billy.  But dventure-seeking Billy is somewhere in South America, and that leaves Scot without a guardian. Much to Eric’s disapproval, Sam agrees to take Scot in. Enter Scot, budding queen of an 11 year old, who is Eric’s mirror opposite. Dressed in vibrant colors, his mother’s charm bracelet and
with a penchant for musicals and Christmas carols, he’s not quite the ‘boy’ they expected.  

Their household is thrown into confusion as Eric and Sam try to deal with the realities and expectations of their flamboyant charge and realize that he is much more ‘gay’ than they are.

Each deals with his own issues while observing the behavior of a kid being joyously and unashamedly himself.
