One night, over dinner, Andrew's mother announces that her younger boyfriend, an aspiring country singer, is coming to live with them. Everything Andrew knows is changing, and in order to keep from getting swept up in the rising tide he'll have to take stock of his own life, and finally decide what it is that he really wants.
