A young man named Connor has carried a long-time crush on Olivia. One night, Olivia notices Connor flirting with someone else (Jenny) and impulsively inserts herself, and the three end up having a threesome. What initially seems like a fantasy quickly unravels as Olivia panics over emotional attachment and leaves. Connor then pursues a relationship with Olivia, and when the two settle into blissful weeks together, Olivia becomes pregnant. But the complications deepen when Jenny reappears, also pregnant, leading to emotional strife, secret paternity, and impossible decisions about love, responsibility, and the future.
