Two couples discover their six-year-old sons were switched at birth. They are faced with an agonizing decision: to swap the children and correct the mistake, or to keep the boys they have raised as their own. The families spend time together, grappling with their bonds of nature versus nurture, and confronting the difficult meaning of what truly makes a family.
