Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Married couple Alex (Claire Danes) and Greg (Jim Parsons) are desperate to get their four-year-old son Jake into an extremely selective private kindergarten in New York, and they are tempted to use his interest in traditionally feminine activities to pitch him as a transgender student. However, this forces the pair to reflect on their own assumptions on gender and whether they should be defining their child's identity at so young an age. Octavia Spencer, Ann Dowd, Priyanka Chopra, and Amy Landecker co-star. Directed by Silas Howard, A Kid Like Jake was adapted from an off-Broadway play. ~ Jack Rodgers, Rovi

A Brooklyn couple has always known that their four-year-old son is more interested in fairy tale princesses than toy cars. But when his preschool director points out that his gender-nonconforming play may be more than a phase, the couple is forced to rethink their roles as parents and spouses as they apply for him to go to a private kindergarten in New York City.
