Breakfast with Scot is about a very straight gay couple - Sam (Cavanagh), an ex-Toronto Maple Leaf, and Ed (Shenkman), the team's lawyer - whose lifestyle and relationship are turned upside down when they become the guardians of Scot (Bernett), a budding queen of an eleven-year-old boy. Reluctant to get involved in the first place, Sam and Ed find themselves in conflict with each other about bringing Scot into their already full and rich lives. Feelings change, however, as the pair are caught off-guard by this unique young character who is joyously and unashamedly himself. This thoughtful comedy takes a look at homosexuality in professional sports and society's resistance to accepting gay heroes. The National Hockey League takes a progressive step by endorsing Breakfast with Scot and granting the production rights to use NHL and Toronto Maple Leafs' names and likenesses in the film.
