 In the town of Martin, Tennessee, Chip Hines, a precocious six year old, has only known life with his two dads, Cody and Joey. And a good life it is. When Cody dies suddenly in a car accident, Joey and Chip struggle to find their footing again. Just as they begin to, Cody's will reveals that he named his sister as Chip's guardian. The years of Joey's acceptance into the family unravel as Chip is taken away from him. In his now solitary home life, Joey searches for a solution. The law is not on his side, but friends are. Armed with their comfort and inspired by memories of Cody, Joey finds a path to peace with the family and closer to his son.
"Four Stars. Courageous. An indie masterpiece."

This film was hands down the best seen in 2012, if not the past decade. The directing and acting were refined, nuanced and deeply moving. There were many directorial choices which
served to underline tact and discretion - in the instance of revelation of death, for one, and
the surprising and confounding discovery of love, for another. The editing was impeccable; the plot, driven by human impulses and concerns, never flagged. Acting was at its finest for all cast members such that those standing in an untenable position were humanely presented. Highest congratulations to the director and lead, Patrick Wang, for an extraordinary work. May he continue to flourish and win every prize the industry has to offer in the years to come!
