Bautista and Momoa

Alex Novak (Arnett) and wife Tess (Laura Dern) are in the early stages of separation, sensitively navigating the end of their marriage while caring for the mental well-being of their young sons, Felix (Blake Kane) and Jude (Calvin Knegten).

"Nobody cheated," Alex tells his father, Jan (Ciarán Hinds), during a heart-to-heart. His mother, Marilyn (Christine Ebersole), and friends Balls (Cooper) and Christine (Andra Day) provide emotional support as Alex and Tess work out the logistics of living separately and sharing custody of the boys.
