Everybody in Dennis, Cape Cod thinks that Harry Goodhart (Tate Donovan) is quite the catch. Harry, a handsome Englishman, has just moved to this seaside destination with his teenage daughters, Madeleine (Danielle Savre) and Daisy (Skye McCole Bartusiak). Madeline and Daisy, however, are determined to keep their recently widowed father away from the swarm of female suitors, such as the beautiful journalist, Joy (Stacey Dash), and the manic matchmaker, Mrs Brown (Anne Ramsay).
That is until one night when Madeline’s new high school friends give her a taste of a racier Cape Cod. They take her to a notorious underground disco in Provincetown. Through the throngs of drag queens and gay men, Madeline sees her father dancing with a man. The double shocker is that the man is Mr. Gibbs (Adam Pascal), recently introduced by her father as his new business partner and who just moved into the back of their house.
Madeline tries desperately to change her father. She devises every method possible to find the perfect wife. Soon, however, Madeline’s family secret becomes the talk of the town, when she mistakenly confides in her new boyfriend, Sam (Corey Sevier) and everybody in this Cape Cod town becomes involved in one way or another, weighing in on the acceptability of two men raising children together. It is 1973 after all and everyone is still coming to grips with the serious issue of wearing bell-bottom trousers
