Anthony Villaseñor had not spoken to his parents in two years; after they threw him out of their house on Christmas Eve. They disowned him after he married his longtime boyfriend, Brian. But just as Anthony finishes teaching his morning class at the University, his brother calls. There’s been an accident. The entire family is gathered at the hospital. As Anthony and his husband join everyone in the ICU, they find that problems still remain. Withstanding a great deal of wear and tear, the two assist the Villaseñors through the death of their beloved daughter, Isabel. And, eventually, the two husbands rediscover the love, responsibility, and family they thought they had lost the moment they decided to get married.
