Plot
Lucas—an insecure, in-the-closet 22 year old—is stuck babysitting for a well off Brooklyn family to get by. On any other Friday evening, he arrives to watch Freud, a precocious 7 year old. Only there’s one problem: a new babysitter, Frankie, is already there. What happens as a chance occurrence between two young men spirals into a weekend of self-discovery and acceptance.
