Post Wryly funny  gently devastating. -Entertainment Weekly A funny and profound story about
family in all its strange forms  joyful and hard-won vulnerability  becoming who you're
supposed to be  and the limits of love. Benson and Mike are two young guys who live together in
Houston. Mike is a Japanese American chef at a Mexican restaurant and Benson's a Black day care
teacher  and they've been together for a few years-good years-but now they're not sure why
they're still a couple. There's the sex  sure  and the meals Mike cooks for Benson  and  well 
they love each other. But when Mike finds out his estranged father is dying in Osaka just as
his acerbic Japanese mother  Mitsuko  arrives in Texas for a visit  Mike picks up and flies
across the world to say goodbye. In Japan he undergoes an extraordinary transformation 
discovering the truth about his family and his past. Back home  Mitsuko and Benson are stuck
living together as unconventional roommates  an absurd domestic situation that ends up meaning
more to each of them than they ever could have predicted. Without Mike's immediate pull  Benson
begins to push outwards  realizing he might just know what he wants out of life and have the
goods to get it. Both men will change in ways that will either make them stronger together  or
fracture everything they've ever known. And just maybe they'll all be okay in the end.
