A lighthearted workplace comedy built on a escalating lie, where a woman's fake pregnancy scheme generates both romantic entanglement and comedic chaos.

A young woman pretends to be pregnant in order to avoid being fired from her job. When that gets her a bunch of special treatment by everyone involved in her life, she tries to keep up the lie for nine months.
