Logline

A spirited comedy about everyday madness.

It’s the summer of 2020, and fear of the coronavirus has reached its peak in New York City. Terry is strictly observing the quarantine in his ex-husband’s apartment while caring for his 19-year-old nephew, who’s confined to bed with a broken leg. Unfortunately for Terry, his nephew is a model and everyone he knows wants to meet him.
