Tina is a New York artist whose husband Wayne lives off her money and success. They invite her eight-months-pregnant art-school rival Karen the perfect homemaker and her power-hungry new-money husband Don to their Brooklyn loft and surprise them with Tina's new work-in-progress: a radical alternative to motherhood. Tina expecting a child via surrogate tells Karen that she couldn't stand having someone hanging off her breast all day. Karen retaliates that being pregnant makes her feel like a celebrity and that she's sorry for people who don't have children. When the sensuous non-traditional surrogate Kiki arrives the truth comes out and the patriarchy fights to hang on by its teeth and a tough debate breaks out between ex-girlfriends in which everyone reveals secrets and tries to defend their opinions about surrogate motherhood.
