Benefits

Ben Schmidt survived the prostate cancer at the heart of Jim Arnold's acclaimed novel "Benediction," but will he and handsome partner Jake Brosseau survive the maelstrom of midlife crises they now face? From the parade of men who (sometimes) want them, to children and parents who (usually) need them, Ben and Jake fight to master new challenges that make their San Francisco lives ever more precarious. Perhaps Ben will find success as a reluctant dad. Or, he'll solve a workplace mystery without going broke or getting fired in the process. Maybe, finally, he's ready for the consequences of a truly open relationship. Perhaps Jake can keep all the balls in the air as he juggles dalliances and impending bankruptcy. Maybe, finally, he'll find the freedom he desires inside a committed relationship with the man he loves. Like that train wreck impossible to turn away from, you'll applaud Ben, Jake and the rest of their posse as they seek separate-as well as joint-ways over the hurdles thrown their way.
