Overview
Even though it upsets her mother-in-law, Diana decides to postpone having children so she can focus on her career. Her husband Zack agrees but she is unaware that he is hiding a secret about his architecture company. Meanwhile, repressed housewife Aishah feels estranged from her doctor husband and their teenage daughter, as both are seldom home. Then there's Norimah, a 40-year-old who finally gets pregnant after years of trying. She is also very supportive of her husband's dream to become a novelist after getting fired from his job as a chef. One day, the lives of all three women collide when Zack, while chasing after Diana, accidentally hits Aishah with his car. Norimah's baby is also at risk when the speeding car almost hits her.
