An American radio host and his wife struggle to maintain their relationship through the tribulations of an outsourced pregnancy in India. New Yorkers RJ and Rosemary have been trying to have a baby for the past eight years. Surrogacy is their last chance to have the family they want. But once they arrive in Mumbai and begin the embryo transplant, things go awry.
