Five fathers of trans children join Dennis Shepard - the father of Matthew Shepard - for a weekend fishing trip where they find common ground across racial, geographical and generational lines: their unconditional love for their children.

Six dads gather in rural Oklahoma for a weekend fishing trip. As the men cast their rods into the river, share their catch over dinner, and swap stories beside the bonfire, we learn what has brought them to this scenic idyll: the love for their trans and LGBTQ children, their fears for their children's safety, and the urgency to fight for the ground on which they all stand. The Dads is a quiet meditation on fatherhood, brotherhood and manhood amid the changing American landscape.
