Life is going damned well for Blair Spencer. She's a very successful real estate agent, happily married to a man who encourages her to live the independent life she loves-and they're actively working to have a baby.

The only problem the couple faces is that Blair favours adoption, while her husband David desperately wants to have a biological child. In desperation, they finally seek the help of a group of reproductive specialists. One of the doctors, a surgeon named Kylie Mackenzie, becomes a good friend to Blair, a friend she badly needs when things start to fall apart at home. As her marriage begins to crumble around her, she relies more and more on Kylie's friendship.

Kylie's happily gay; Blair's happily straight. But the intensity of their relationship leads friends and family to privately question whether the pair is setting themselves up for heartache. When they begin to question themselves, a crossword is reached which could either destroy their friendship or turn it into what each of them has been seeking. The question is whether each woman can change her view of herself and her needs. The answer is all that matters...
