Natasha has no intention of joining her friends in parenthood. Then a baby arrives in her life under extraordinary circumstances, and the choice she thought was hers becomes increasingly difficult to reclaim. Keeping the infant safe is only part of the problem: the people around it seem to be in terrible danger. An enigmatic older woman offers unsettling clues, while Natasha's sister Bobbi and her partner Sam pursue a very different path toward having a child. Beneath the dark comedy is a story about who gets to want motherhood, who is pushed into it and whose love is allowed to survive. A relationship between Helen and Nour gives the horror a painful history that reaches far beyond one unwanted responsibility.
