Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

An unconventional family with surprisingly conventional values struggles to meet the everyday challenges of life in Middle America in a film that touches on the topic of same sex marriage in a way that every parent - straight or gay - can relate to. Javonte, David, Arthur, Dionet, and Allen were all trapped in the tragic cycle of foster care when liberal minister Greg Stewart and his partner Stillman White decided to adopt the five boys and raise them in a loving family environment. Later, when Stewart decided to relocate his family into the conservative heartland for four years, the family found themselves under siege from disapproving conservatives. In this film, director C. Reed follows the family on their remarkable journey, in the process presenting a unique body of evidence that aims to provoke intelligent discussion on such hot-button issues as gay marriage and adoption.
