About

A married couple struggling with infertility decide to go outside of their marriage for a consensual affair. One month, one exception and then they'll decide if IVF is right for them. Set in the sunny hills of Silver Lake, Los Angeles where the young artists and lawless musicians roam, comes this thrilling, fun, comedic love story that'll have you chuckling in public.
Becca and Mark have been trying to have a baby for years. Technically, there's nothing wrong with them. They fight a lot, but what couple doesn't? Everyone tells them to relax and it will happen. The next logical step is in vitro, but thats invasive and scary. If it isnt physically meant to be, why force it? The conundrum leaves Becca feeling anxious, depressed, and alone, until the day her neighbor Macy, a wild-spirited music producer, introduces her to Heathcliff, an undeniably attractive and attentive photographer.
Beccas loins are awakened, and she wonders whether she and Mark are truly compatible. When Marks mom, a sociology professor, admits to swinging and preaches about the social imposition of monogamy, an idea brews: what if they went outside of their marriage? Before taking the plunge and making a baby in a lab, they need to know, are they truly meant for one another?
They make an agreement: one month, one exception.
Will their relationship survive? Is letting go of each other, their dreams of being parents truly the secret to getting everything theyve ever wanted? Or will their desires change completely?
