Spoilers ahead
Nelson Hirsch, John Lloyd Young, a 25-year-old real estate agent, finds it increasingly hard to tell his boisterous Jewish parents, Martin Hirsch and Shirley Hirsch, that he is gay and in love with a man — not Angelo Ferraro, but a non-Jewish partner.
Together with Angelo Ferraro Jai Rodriguez, the couple have forged a time-sensitive pact to come clean about their relationship to their families. Yet a complication arises when, through circumstance, Nelson’s mother comes to believe that the new significant other is not Angelo but their neighbor, Sybil Williams, the Playpen Playmate of the month, portrayed by Carmen Electra. This mistaken identity wires the story with tension as the adults wrestle with appearances and expectations.
