From Producer Norman Lear comes a heartfelt comedy that follows Harry, an old-school car wash owner in Alabama who has a lot of soul searching to do when the child he thought was a son returns as a proud, trans woman, Desiree. Her homecoming brings together a hilarious cast of friends and neighbors, as Desiree and Harry try to get it right the second time around.
