Episodic look at an unlikely couple trying to make it in L.A. during the late 1970s. He’s Albert, an illegal alien from Belgium, serving as chauffeur and lover to a string of powerful men. She’s Stella, a real estate agent with several women lovers. When he’s out of a job, she temporarily takes him in. He becomes her cook and housekeeper, time passes, and they marry so he won’t be deported. Later, after a boozy birthday celebration with him, she finds herself pregnant. They try to be a family, love grows, and she puts her career on hold as his career, as a fashion designer, takes off. Can this gay couple stay true to each other, and what happens when their hormones call?
