Cooped up on maternity leave and eager for conversation, Jessie invites the funny and forthright Lina for coffee in their neighboring backyards. They become fast friends, quickly bonding over their shared "new mom" experience- and arousing the interest of a wealthy neighbor hoping for a similar connection. This insightful comedy takes an honest look at the absurditites of new motherhood, the dilemma of returning to work versus staying at home, and how class impacts parenthood and friendship.
