In 1973, teenaged Beth Bledsoe (Sophia Lillis, It: Chapter Two) leaves her rural Southern hometown to study at New York University where her beloved Uncle Frank (Paul Bettany, WandaVision) is a revered literature professor. She soon discovers that Frank is gay, and living with his longtime partner Walid “Wally” Nadeem (Peter Macdissi, Here and Now) — an arrangement that he has kept secret for years. After the sudden death of Frank’s father — Beth’s grandfather — Frank is forced to reluctantly return home for the funeral with Beth in tow, and to finally face a long-buried trauma that he has spent his entire adult life running away from.
