When Sarah and her hus­band trade in a crowd­ed com­mute, cramped apart­ment, and high stress New York City jobs for life the slow lane in Farm­wood, VA, the pres­sure is on to have a baby. At thir­ty-six Sarah knows it’s time to get start­ed, but the pres­sure she’s putting on her­self to reach a rather unre­al­is­tic pin­na­cle of self-ful­fill­ment before­hand looms large. Mean­while, her best friend Mona, a sin­gle and suc­cess­ful edi­tor who’s always want­ed chil­dren, is diag­nosed with cer­vi­cal can­cer. At the same time, Sarah’s younger and seem­ing­ly per­fect sis­ter-in-law has just giv­en birth to her son, Franklin. When Sarah uproots her new life with her hus­band in Vir­ginia to return to New York to take care of Mona, the three women, both direct­ly and indi­rect­ly, help each oth­er nav­i­gate their new realities.
