When first grade teacher Knox Keaton finds out one of his students is about to be put into foster care, he knows he has to intervene. Even though it won’t be easy raising a child on his own, Knox wants to make six-year-old Milo Kemper a part of his family. Pediatrician Ben Wagner wants the boy to be a part of his family too and believes he would be a better father to Milo because he is better equipped to deal with the first grader’s unique situation. Doctor Ben knows something about the child that no one else does: Milo is transgender. When a tug-of-war ensues over Milo between the equally qualified potential fathers, a family friend makes what seems like a crazy suggestion: Get married and raise Milo together.
