Efe and Sam have been best friends since before they were married. To an outside eye, they have a relationship most can only dream of.
But behind closed doors, Sam wants to start a family, while Efe longs for a life free of responsibility.
When an unplanned pregnancy forces Efe into a stark choice, she has to decide which is more important – her love for her family, or the life she wanted for herself.
