Bed and Breakfast

When Brett inherits the small-town family estate, he and his partner Drew uproot their life in Toronto to renovate the home into a modern B&B. As the couple works to transform their lives and property, their presence shakes up the new neighbours – for better or for worse. A fast paced and heart-warming comedy where two actors play over twenty characters who weave their way through Brett and Drew’s lives as they work to build a new home and bring a community together.
