It's 1979, and Rudy Donatello (Alan Cumming)--a drag queen and a singer who can barely support himself and pay his rent--finds himself in the unexpected role of parent when his junkie neighbor abandons her teenage son and is arrested. Marco (Isaac Leyva) has Down syndrome, and he's frightened, hanging onto his favorite toy, a doll, for dear life. When Marco escapes from the home that Child Protective Services has left him in and returns to his apartment complex, Rudy finds him and takes care of him, with the help of Paul (Garrett Dillahunt), a closeted gay man who works at the district attorney's office as a lawyer and who, after a passionate encounter, has fallen for Rudy (and vice versa). They manage to secure temporary custody of Marco. But when others start speculating about the nature of Rudy's and Paul's relationship -- Paul has told others that they're cousins--Marco's tenure with them, and their ability to keep him, is called into question.
