Ariel Merman is a new drag queen who finds a family at Hamburger Mary's. After a performance as Ariel, Zachary Cooper walks home in his makeup and is physically assaulted by homophobes. Zachary's worry that the attack has thrown a wrench in his good fortune is eased when he looks into the eyes of his doctor. Dr. Teegan Chau is a little lost after divorcing his wife and coming out of the closet, but he can't deny his attraction to the young man he patches up. When Zachary takes the initiative and asks Teegan out, romance is the easy part of their blossoming relationship-as they deal with an ex-wife and child, being a drag queen in a heteronormative culture, Zachary's lingering trauma, and Teegan acclimating to life as part of an out-and-proud gay couple. The challenges seem daunting. Can Zachary and Teegan make it through the rough patches and take a chance on love?
