After six years of success at Technovations, Ryan accepts a one-year assignment in Auckland, New Zealand. This assignment will advance his career, but his husband Aaron dreads the prospect of a one-year separation.


While Ryan is in New Zealand, COVID strikes. His life remains mostly unaffected, but the stress of the pandemic, the social isolation, and their separation take an emotional toll on Aaron. Ryan's brother Brandon, a senior at Arizona State University, moves in when ASU shifts to online classes. Aaron welcomes Brandon's companionship and support, but their dynamic changes as the pandemic drags on and Ryan's return is repeatedly delayed.


When Ryan returns, he finds his marriage in ruins. Their situation is further complicated by Ryan's high school boyfriend moving to town, the return of Ryan's estranged father, and a visit from two LDS missionaries. Ryan, Aaron, Brandon, and everyone else must navigate these upheavals to rebuild their lives and find happiness in a changed post-pandemic world.
