What happens when the person you trust the most keeps a secret that could destroy you both?

Josie is a single, queer, quietly observant writer in San Francisco who is committed to creating a family, even if she has to do it alone. When she’s reunited with her college friend Radhika—an abortion doctor, mother of twins, and newly successful author—the two women rapidly form a bond around intentional motherhood and shared ambition. Enthralled by her friend’s brilliant self-assurance, Josie grows hungry for Radhika’s approval and praise. But Radhika harbors her own troubling convictions about autonomy and sacrifice—and the more Josie trusts her, the more she risks being devastated by her friend’s bold and dangerous decisions.
