Burt and Verona, a couple in their early thirties, discover they are expecting their first child. Initially planning to stay near Burt's parents in Colorado, their plans are disrupted when the parents announce a sudden move to Belgium. With no family support nearby, Burt and Verona decide to embark on a cross-country journey to find the perfect place to raise their child. They visit friends and family members in various cities, in hopes of discovering a community and environment that feels right.

Their first stop is Phoenix, where they meet Verona’s old boss, Lily, whose brash and abrasive parenting style raises doubts. In Madison, they reconnect with Burt’s childhood friend Ellen, now a new-age academic, providing glimpses into alternative lifestyles. Each interaction provides new insights into the complexities of adulthood and parenting, challenging their preconceived notions and helping them understand what they truly want for their future family. Their journey becomes not just a search for a home, but an exploration of their own identities and relationship.
