The Scenic Route

Ed Baldwin left his home in Michigan's Upper Peninsula right after graduation and vowed never to return. He's patched things up enough that he's bringing long-time boyfriend Joe Sutton home to meet the family. Ed knows no family dynamic is ever perfect, but with the differences between their upbringings, he worries this will be the deal-breaker in their relationship. Nervous and on-edge, Ed picks a fight with Joe the entire trip. When Joe has enough and stops at a run-down motel to take a break, their relationship is tested in a way Ed never imagined. There's not a lot of rest to be had at the Easy Rest Motel and Ed must learn to trust both himself and Joe before they become permanent guests. But that's not the end of their adventure and Ed knows one thing -- this is the last time he lets Joe take the scenic route.
