Tagline: Can a man keep his family and himself? A Second Chance at Your First Time

Plot: Two college friends take a journey home. One of them makes a mistake that may tear a family apart. Sometimes there are no second chances, sometimes there are no mulligans.

When college pals Tyler Davidson (Derek Baynham) and in-the-closet Chase (Charlie David) arrive at the Davidson family lake house to spend the summer, clan patriarch Nathan Davidson (Dan Payne) soon finds himself irresistibly attracted to his son's handsome friend. When their feelings turn into an affair, Nathan must find a way to embrace his long-hidden sexual identity without losing the family he loves. Chip Hale directs this potent drama.

Exceptionally well-written and packed with great performances from a strong cast that includes Charlie David (Dante’s Cove, A Four Letter Word), Thea Gill (Queer as Folk), Dan Payne (Watchmen), Derek James and newcomer Grace Vukovic.
