Seemingly the only young, gay guy in New York looking for a longtime relationship, he is a romantic who believes every guy he meets is the right one." Pollari then is set as Blake, "son of Lucas and Alyson (Stacey Farber), who meets his seemingly conservative parents for dinner. He's initially prepared to be bored, but when his parents begin talking about some wild incidents from their distant pasts - intended as life lessons for his own future - his ears perk up, and he starts paying very close attention." Andy Ridings also stars. (Deadline.com)
