Dee Jensen's life is about to get complicated. She has just found out that if she wants to start a family, she needs to get on with it fast. However, her almost-definitely boyfriend, Nat, has almost-definitely just broken up with her. Could platonic co-parenting, where two friends have a child together with no romantic connection, be the easy answer? Dee finds herself suggesting the idea to a chef she's just met called Andy. And in the cold light of day, he doesn't find it as laughable as she does.

But will feelings surface along the way? And, in her heart of hearts, does Dee even want a baby?
