Ricky (Sam Jones III), a negative, smart, and susceptible teen, feels lost and puzzled about his sexuality and location worldwide. Psychiatrist Joe (Gregory Harrison), expertly effective but personally separated after the terrible loss of his wife and child in an automobile mishap, is living a life of bitterness and regret.

Cultural Clash and Camaraderie
Their forced camaraderie within your house results in inescapable clashes, ensue tension, uniformity, and unforeseen humor. The disputes serve as a catalyst to examine their failures, disappointments, and insecurities.
