Steven Russell (Jim Carrey) leads a seemingly average life—he’s an organ player in the local church, happily married to Debbie (Leslie Mann), and a member of the local police force. That is until he has a severe car accident that leads him to the ultimate epiphany: he’s gay and he’s going to live life to the fullest—even if he has to break the law to do it.
