Synopsis: Follows David as he moves back home to be with his mother for the year between her giving up her fight against cancer and slowly dying. Davids relationship with his family is, at best, strained (especially in regard to his father) because of an apparent difficulty in accepting his homosexuality. Although the subject matter is genuinely distressing, his mothers death ultimately helps restore his familial bonds and become an integrated part of the family unit again.

Oh, f***, what? Are you...

Oh, my god... sh*t.

Yeah.

I should probably... I should

probably get going.

Yeah, yeah, hey, you know, um...

I've been meaning

to message you.

I uh, I heard about your

family situation. Uh...

Yeah.

Yeah.

How are your sisters doing?

I mean, everyone's sad, but you

know...

Really? I didn't think

Rebeccah would care...

And your little sister.

Wait, what are you

talking about?

You know, you... Michelle Lima

said that you came out?

And your family kind of took it

poorly or something like that?

Yeah, that was like

nine years ago or something.

I mean, my dad still won't talk

about it...

But he's a f***ing a**hole, so...

Wait, what were you talking

about?

Oh, uh, now my mom has cancer.

But...

You should rent her a DVD.

No, no, that's okay.

No, have you seen these things?

They're like Netflix, but even

better, they're awesome.

I have.

Come on.

I got an employee discount.

Man, it's not a big deal.

I can get you a free rental.

You really don't have to do

that. They're only a dollar. I...

No, no, come on, hey, please,

let me get you something.

Do you know if there's any

non-new releases...

That she'd want to see?

Ooh, ooh, okay, watch your hair.

Good girl, get it out,

get it out.

Just breathe, mom.

Here we go. You're doing

all right, baby.

Thank you, sweetie.

You okay, mom?

David, yeah, I'm okay.

How was your day?

Get any writing done?

Um, a lot, actually.

Hey, you know that gym has

boxing classes.

I thought that might be fun!

Can someone please put dono

outside?

I can't stand to see him

licking his penis.

Dono, no! Stop it!

Dono, no, stop!

Dono, no!

Dono, out!

Stop.

No!

Gabe David, hi, it's Gabe.

I am in town and want you to

know that we are going...

To the gayest bar in Sacramento

tonight.

You, of course, have no choice.

Please pick me up promptly,

thank you, goodbye.

Oh, hey.

Oh, uh, hi. I'm looking

for Gabe Stewart?

Oh, he's in the shower, yeah.

David, right?

What, you're Justin?

The only and only!

Except for Timberlake and

Bieber, but whatever.

You were a baby like

a second ago!

You can come in and wait

in my room if you want.

Just know that I know,

it needs of a full redec.

Okay.

Who am I kidding?

This whole house needs

a full redec, honestly.

Yeah, I won't judge it.

This is my bedroom.

Wow! This is really nice.

Do you like it?

I do.

So for my birthday, I wanna tear

down this whole entire wall...

And put up solid Carrera.

Do you know Carrera?

I think... is she like a singer?

No, it's a marble, it's so

tasteful.

I actually think you'll

really like it.

See this laptop case?

Uh-huh.

It's Carrera.

Oh, wow, that's really nice.

Yeah.

It's fake, but it'll do.

My tastes are a little bit

outside my father's...

Financial means, and I'm

sensitive to that.

And he works so hard, he's

a single parent...

So I try to cut corners

where I can.

That's really nice of you.

I really like your shirt,

by the way.

Oh, well, thank you...

I was actually very nervous

about it since meeting you.

It's so cute, you're really

cute.

David. Hi!

Gabe.

How are you?

I'm good. A very young boy

just told me I looked cute.

Yes, he did, I'm not surprised.

Um, Justin, we're gonna go, be

good.

Uh, of course, I'll be good,

please, please.

It was so nice to meet you.

It was so nice to meet you.

Come on, hug me. Let's do this.

Thank you.

Ah, Justin, I'm so sorry,

you can't come with us.

Oh, no, it's fine,

I have work to do.

Honestly, just please go off,

have fun, do your thing.

We will. And, Justin, please

don't burn the house down...

With your candles while

I'm gone.

Oh, my god, Gabe, please stop!

I'm sorry, I'm joking.

I'm joking.

He's furious, because he ran out

of candles this afternoon.

Ho-ly sh*t.

I can't believe your dad has to

raise that kid all by himself.

Okay, remember junior year...

How my mom got sick like five

minutes after they adopted him?

Okay wait, so where are we

going?

I didn't even know

Sacramento had gay bars.

Oh, you'll see,

it's... pure heaven.

This is hand's down the worst

building I've ever been in.

Okay, you say that now, but if

you meet your husband here,

I'm gonna make the speech

at your wedding.

Uh, let me toast now, um, to

being back home.

Mm, to being in Sacramento.

Don't be rude, David.

Okay, this is your home.

Your gorgeous, gorgeous home.

Okay, you can say that, because

you're here for the weekend.

I have been here two months.

No, it's true, it's not fair.

I don't have to deal with your

f***ing dad.

I mean, he's been good

with my mom.

We just don't talk about that.

That? So you mean, how he cut

you off and made you pay...

For school when you came

out to him?

Yes, that!

Right, how he's never seen Paul.

How he's never met Paul once.

That!

Right, right, right, that, that.

Yes, that.

What is this, 2008?

Jesus. I feel like I'm in

brokeback mountain.

I know.

Hi.

Hi.

Do you teach, or...?

You don't know?

You don't know?

Okay... um, how are you

and Paul? Is it weird now?

It was mutual.

Yeah.

So mutually... weird.

Yeah.

I guess.

How long were you all together,

like four years?

Five.

Oh, god!

Oh, god.

What the f***?

Hi.

Hi.

You should do grindr

while you're here.

I would never do grindr...

Especially in Sacramento.

That's disgusting.

What?

You should try ok cupid, come on!

It's more gentle, it's like

for small children.

No.

Why? What?

What's wrong with ok cupid?

I do it every time I'm home.

I hooked up with that guy from

Sheldon...

Who was a year younger than us,

Nate chapin?

Nate chapin?

Mm-hm.

How was that?

He had the grossest penis...

But he lived right next

to Jack in the box...

So two birds, one dick.

Ugh! I'm gonna come so hard!

Ew. Oh my god, oh my god!

I'm gonna come all over the

place.

That is definitely the guy

from the burger place!

Yes, I told you.

How did you recognize him?

Because look at that dumb-ass

tattoo on his arm.

I mean, who else has that

tattoo. No one has that tattoo.

F***, yeah.

Oh, he's gonna do it.

He's gonna do it.

Nothing will be spared in here.

He's close, he's close!

I'm gonna come all over the

whole room.

He came!

He did it!

Yes! He did it!

He came on the chair!

Hey, thank you.

And she didn't wanna slowly lose

her hair, so she shaved it.

Last week... and we did this big

hair-cutting ceremony...

And she was really joke-y

and funny...

And then when it was over,

she started crying.

My mom did the same thing.

The chemo's not even working.

And it's like now I'll have no

mom, and basically no dad...

And no boyfriend, and no job...

No, no, no, David, you came

here to be with her.

Just focus on that.

That's all, and let everything

else fall into place, okay?

There's no one to f***ing talk

to here, except for you...

And you're never here.

So I just said, and I think

about morbid sh*t...

Like, where will I be

when she dies?

How are your sisters?
