While Andy is eager to become a father, his partner Gabriel, a performer (“I'm not a drag queen” he points out), is less excited. Gabriel carries the weight of a troubled past as a drug addict and an unhappy childhood, scarred by the death of his mother and his father's homophobia. The couple grows fond of little Jake, who has been taken away from his abusive family: the adoption seems to be near at hand. But an unexpected, tragic and painful event changes everything … This popular British TV series, aired on BBC, openly and sensitively tackles the topic of same-sex parenting.
