The official synopsis reads: “Willa (Greene) has mastered the art of living commitment-free, until she discovers that her biological clock is running out faster than expected. Just as she dives headfirst into the chaotic world of egg freezing, she meets Greg (Green), a charming and grounded chef who’s everything she didn’t know she wanted. Caught between the life she carefully built and the one she never saw coming, Willa must decide if she’s willing to risk everything for a chance at something real.”
