Principalment a causa d'una lluita d'orgull, Mike Dunmore ha viscut tota la seva vida guardant un secret que creia que només causaria vergonya si sortia a la llum. Com a resultat, les relacions personals amb el seu fill Patrick s'han vist tenses. Els únics que van saber alguna cosa al respecte van ser la seva dona difunta i el seu millor amic, Thurgood, amb qui treballa, que tots dos van acceptar ajudar-lo a mantenir-lo tapat el temps que poguessin. Tanmateix, quan el seu estimat nét comença a experimentar els mateixos problemes, en Mike s'adona que ja no pot amagar el seu secret, o que si ho intentés, seria molt difícil.

Mostly on account of a pride struggle, Mike Dunmore has lived his whole life keeping a secret which he believed would only cause shame if it came to light. Personal relationships with his son Patrick have been strained as a result. The only ones who ever knew anything about it were his deceased wife and his best friend, Thurgood who he works with, who both agreed to help keep it covered up for him as long as they could. However, when his treasured grandson begins experiencing the same problems, Mike realizes that he can't hide his secret any longer, or if he tried to, it would be most difficult. Even more so when he is endorsed and volunteers to run as a candidate for local election.
