Lenny and Martha (Seth Gamble and Charlie Forde) are a happily married couple, though have never been able to conceive. As such, they decided to enlist the help of Sandra (Sophia Burns), a surrogate parent who would carry their offspring to term. The day has finally come for them to meet their new family member, and they set up their living room with decorations and fanfare, barely containing their excitement. But when Sandra knocks at their door, they are surprised to see she’s arrived empty-handed. Their surprise turns to shock, however, when Sandra informs them that she’s changed her mind. She’s decided to keep their offspring for herself, and there’s nothing Lenny and Martha can do to change her mind.
Lenny makes a striking and unorthodox offer to Sandra. Why doesn’t she stay and live with them? She could become a part of their family, and she’d never have to leave the offspring alone. She’d always be a part of its life. Sandra is intrigued, but she worries that this offer is only half-full. Will she ever truly be of equal standing as Lenny and Martha in this radical new household arrangement that they’re proposing? Or will she simply become a glorified housemaid? But Lenny and Martha surround Sandra, promising that they can prove to her just how committed they are to this idea. In fact, they’ll prove it to her right now… by offering her the same intimacy they’d usually reserve for themselves.
