Spoilers ahead
Jessica Barrett, a young English mother living in San Francisco, reveals to her husband, Robert Barrett, that she is pregnant. The couple already has two young children: Ken Barrett and Gail Barrett. The news should be joyous, but a quiet tension lingers as the family navigates a life in the city and the pressures of fame and parenting.
Several days later, during Ken’s birthday party, Robert Barrett finds Jessica violently ill and vomiting in the bathroom. After visiting Dr. George Staton, her obstetrician and close confidant, Jessica learns that she is actually three months pregnant, not the mere weeks she believed. The revelation arrives with a chill: the pregnancy has accelerated far beyond what anyone anticipated, casting a pall over the celebration and over Jessica’s health.
