A darkly comedic drama about an aging actress's desperate gambit to become a mother through illegal adoption, exploring the collision between maternal longing and public scandal.

An aging actress is desperate to become a mother. In menopause and too controversial for legal adoption, she decides to illegally adopt from a pregnant teenager while publicly faking pregnancy. The ensuing media circus at first revitalizes her career but then threatens to grow out of control and destroy everything she cares about.
