A woman longs to be a mother, but she can’t carry a pregnancy to full term. Another woman, in desperate financial need, is able to grant the gift of life on the other’s behalf. Their hopelessness unites them. As it develops, the transaction is far from simple. The woman who dreamed of carrying her own child must let go. While her dream dies, the other woman relinquishes control over her body for nine months. That woman hasn’t yet been able to pursue her own dreams. Complications only grow from there. Synchronizing both women’s bodies is a matter of biology, but the psychological impact can’t be measured or controlled. The point at which their failures and dreams intersect ignites a spark – one capable of tearing both of their worlds apart.
