Brooklyn parents Alex (Claire Danes) and Greg (Jim Parsons) are lucky to have a kid like Jake. Their four-year-old is bright, precocious, creativeand just happens to prefer Disney princesses to toy cars and skirts to jeans. Jakes gender expansive behavioras local preschool director Judy (Octavia Spencer) dubs itis no big deal to Alex and Greg. Or so it seems, until the process of navigating New York Citys hyper-competitive private school system opens up a parental quagmire: could Jakes gender nonconformity be just the thing that gives their child an edge in the admissions game? How young is too young to put a label on a childs identity? Is this just a phase, or is Jake truly transgender? Split in their opinions on how to handle the situation, Alex and Greg find themselves navigating an emotional and ethical minefield with one patch of common ground between them: their fierce desire to do whats right for Jake.
