Milo (Molly Bernard), a directionless twenty-something, is confronted with the inertia of her adult life after attending her best friend Noor's baby shower. After her roommate George (Robin de Jesus) bails on her for a Tinder date, Milo strikes up a conversation with Roger (Patrick Breen), an older gay man hanging out at her local bar. The conversation turns to children, and Roger reveals that he's always wanted a family, but has had multiple adoptions and surrogacies fall through. As the two get closer, spending nights hanging out at Roger's drag bar and drinking together, Milo decides to become his surrogate. As their relationship progresses, Milo grows increasingly attached to Roger. Sensing that Milo wants more of a continued relationship than he does, Roger begins to distance himself from her, and Milo must grapple with boundaries, emotional entanglement, and the weight of the decision she has made.

Bernard, who plays Milo with the right mix of spunk and insecurity, is ingratiating as she makes a big, snap decision that she may not be equipped to handle.

Molly Bernard is perfect in the role of Milo. I have met a million Milos, both male and female, and sometimes have been one myself.

Small budget indie film. The main character, Milo is pretty quirky and I like the chemistry between her and Roger. Good mix of comedy and drama.

I just felt like yet another movie that doesn't understand or respect what women go through throughout the birthing process. It felt like a crime. A woman robbed of her dna, her flesh and blood. Her child by a selfish person. The way he treated her was beyond shameful.
