  Family
  After too many holidays alone, Russ Bishop and Stephen Parker decide to invite Russ' family to spend Christmas with them. Russ wants to repair the fractured relationships with his father and sister, and Stephen wants to feel like he's part of a family. But when Russ' sister, Addie, brings an unexpected guest, it makes an already challenging situation more complicated. The Christmas Stephen gets may not be as perfect as the one he imagined but perhaps happiness can be found in the flaws.
  Husbands
  Russ is ready to make a lifelong commitment to his partner. That means marriage to him, but Stephen grew up believing that was out of the question. With marriage equality still not recognized in Georgia, Stephen is only concerned about the legal protection available to them.
  Someone from Stephen's past reappears and drives a wedge between them as Russ and Stephen struggle to agree on their future. Russ tries to understand Stephen's complex feelings about marriage, but the differences in their background stresses the relationship further. Can the relationship they've built overcome the issues they face?
