One night to conceive a child. What could possibly go wrong?

Bradley and his lover Duke are ready to become fathers.

Quasar and her lover Lily have agreed to help make it happen.

Their plan is simple: Bradley and Quasar will conceive a child during one perfectly timed sexual encounter.

But when the big night arrives, both couples get more than they bargained for when nerves, jealousy, hijinks, and political correctness get in the way.

The plan was simple. The people were complicated.
