PlotThe story revolves around five couples whose lives intersect as they prepare for parenthood. Fitness guru Jules and dancer Evan face public scrutiny and unexpected complications as they adapt to the pregnancy news. Food truck owner Rosie and her ex-boyfriend Marco encounter a surprise pregnancy after a one-night stand, leading them to confront the reality of their rekindered romance. Photographer Holly and her husband Alex decide to adopt a child from overseas, but Alex's fears about fatherhood prompt him to join a "Dudes Group," a support group for new dads.
Meanwhile, author Wendy and her husband Gary deal with the highs and lows of her unexpected pregnancy. The competition between Gary’s father, race car legend Ramsey, and his much younger, now pregnant wife Skyler, adds tension to family dynamics. Skyler, seemingly breezing through her own pregnancy, becomes a point of envy for the other mothers-to-be. Each couple faces their own set of challenges and realizations as they navigate the road to parenthood, intertwining their stories in ways that highlight both the humor and heartache of life’s most profound journey.
