Mary Ann returns to present-day San Francisco and is reunited with her daughter and ex-husband, twenty years after leaving them behind to pursue her career. Fleeing the midlife crisis that her picture-perfect Connecticut life created, Mary Ann is quickly drawn back into the orbit of Anna Madrigal, her chosen family and a new generation of queer young residents living at 28 Barbary Lane.

'Stevie' is a coming-of-age story about a small-town tomboy who experiences romance for the first time when a young man, Justin, and his sister, Angie, move into town. She is pursued by Justin, and, with pressure from her younger, girly-girl sister, agrees to go out with him, but is surprised by the feelings she has for Angie after they all spend a night out together.
