Maggie, after moving into her own place in Vancouver, meets and falls in love with Kim, a fellow lesbian. They soon move in together. However, Maggie's recently divorced mother, Lila, moves to Vancouver along with Maggie's younger brother, becoming unsolicited roommates just as the relationship between Maggie and Kim begins. Lila is initially unaware of Maggie's sexual orientation and Maggie isn't open about it. Meanwhile, Lila befriends Judy, a transsexual who is about to undergo a sex-change operation. As Lila becomes more integrated into Vancouver's LGBTQ+ community through her friendship with Judy, she learns the truth about Maggie and Kim, leading to complications.
