Spoilers ahead
Child psychologist Samuel Faulkner finds his life unexpectedly altered when his ballet instructor girlfriend, Rebecca Taylor, announces her pregnancy. As he navigates through this uncharted territory, his mind is inundated with thoughts about what fatherhood truly entails. His anxieties intensify with frequent interactions with the lively couple, Marty and Gail Dwyer, alongside their rowdy trio of daughters. Additionally, the somewhat ambiguous advice from Sean, his perpetually single artist friend and Gail’s brother, only adds to his confusion. The chilling reminder from Rebecca that birth control is merely 97% effective amplifies his mix of anticipation and fear about fatherhood.
