Drew and Ben
are the perfect gay couple-
a Brooklyn brownstone, a golden
retriever and the freedom that comes
with being DINKS (double income, no
kids). But when the phone rings,
they answer the long- awaited call
from an adoption agency that will
give them the baby they’ve always
wanted.
A free-spirited adoption specialist
lures them to Mississippi with the
promise that they’ll get their baby
girl if they don’t ask questions
about Mississippi law and don’t tell
the truth about being a gay couple.
The new dads agree and are rewarded
with a beautiful baby daughter and
the news that they’ll have to live
on the down low in Mississippi for a
week while a suspicious social
worker checks out their story. |

The
workers at a small-town hotel
welcome them with southern
hospitality and some new parenting
advice while Drew and Ben bring some
light and levity to a place where
gay still just means happy.
Along the way, their suspicious
social worker, a hotel manager with
stereotypical views and southern
Baptists confront their alternative
family values while Drew and Ben
confront their own ability for
parenthood.
A final showdown in adoption court
allows everyone to realize that
although it takes a man and woman to
make a baby, it takes love to make a
family.
