Plot:

On the eve of the admissions cycle for New York City kindergartens, Alex (Danes) and Greg Wheeler (Parsons) have high hopes for four-year-old Jake. The director of Jake's preschool encourages them to accentuate Jake's gender-expansive behaviour to help him stand out. As Alex and Greg navigate their roles as parents, a rift grows between them, one that forces them to confront their own concerns about what's best for Jake, and each other.
