“For years, Tony and Leo have been in a happy relationship. They’d always talked about having a child. So when a baby is abandoned at a local hospital, Tony sees it as a sign. Suddenly, Leo is confronted with making good on his promise to start a family and face his fears of being a father or risk losing Tony.”

Better Half is the gay drama story of a young gay couple’s rocky evolution into a family following their adoption of a baby. It is a contemporary drama of Tony, an idealist social worker, and Leo, his pragmatist partner, as they venture forth with adopting a sickly orphaned infant – a decision that will resurrect childhood demons for Leo and jeopardized their previously harmonious couplehood.
