A bittersweet queer tale about what happens when your partner turns into something different. Max and Nic are about thirty years old and have been together for eight years. They have found their own form of normalcy and family. But when Nic turns into a mouse overnight, acceptance from their friends and family is no longer guaranteed. Within the couple, the weight of actions and words shifts, as do priorities, needs, and power dynamics. The relationship is put to the test, stripped bare as its most covert toxic aspects emerge, and pushed to beyond-human territories that neither Nic nor Max had ever considered.
