Far away from Atlanta's city lights, Robert makes a life for himself and his two families: his biological family of two parents, two sons by birth, and a darling three-year-old grandson; and his chosen family of two FTM transsexual sons, Maxwell and Cass. Robert is falling in love with Lola Cola, a MTF transsexual, but as hard as he tries to resist, in the face of his impending death, the romance blooms beautifully in bittersweet irony.
