When openly gay Leo decides to bring his boyfriend Mitchell home for the first time at his family’s Passover Seder, the boundaries of love and understanding get a little strained. To top it all off, Rabbi Solomon is the guest of honor on this most special of occasions. Judith knows her son too well for this to just be a coincidence… something smells funny and it ain’t the gefilte fish!
