It starred Stephen Wight and Amy Huberman as a young couple and Emun Elliott as their gay best friend, who after returning home inebriated and high from celebrating Alice's (Huberman) 30th birthday, have a Threesome, which results in Richie (Elliott) getting Alice pregnant. So instead of having an abortion and getting on with their lives, they decide to raise the baby as a trio, which will definitely change their lives forever.
