When police detective Laurel Hester (Moore) meets Stacie Andree (Page), they pair fall deeply and unexpectedly in love, and before long are building a life together. But when tragedy strikes and Laurel is diagnosed with cancer, she faces discrimination as government officials refuse to allow her to leave her pension, earned over 23 years of service, to Stacie. With the help of fellow detective Dane Wells (Shannon) and larger-than-life activist Steven Goldstein (Carell), Laurel and Stacie spend their last days together fighting to overturn the decision.
