Secrets have a way of demanding to be seen. These seven stories follow people caught between who they are, whom they love and what the world expects of them—until desire, grief or an inconvenient truth brings everything into the open.

Nonbinary Max and their straight, cisgender boyfriend spiral into an identity crisis when Max announces that they are finally off the waitlist for top surgery. Two Pentecostal youth pastors face a crisis of faith during an afternoon of forbidden love. Strapped for cash, lifelong friends make an amateur adult film and awaken feelings neither is prepared to acknowledge. Peigí is discovered in a bedroom where she should not be. A newly single man preparing to spend Christmas alone unexpectedly takes in his ex-boyfriend’s grieving mother. A polarizing self-help personality, played by Russell Tovey (Plainclothes), begins to unravel at the height of his lecture tour. And when Guy tells his parents that he is living with someone and finally happy, Sunday lunch becomes a coming-out encounter no one anticipated.

Peigí is discovered in a bedroom she shouldn't be in.
