Sarah (Kyra Sedgwick) is a New York City columnist who falls in love with -- and quickly gets pregnant by -- Ryan (Rob Morrow), a free-spirited artist who promptly vanishes for eight months. Ryan, of course, has no idea he's going to be a father, and neither do her protective parents (Mary Tyler Moore and Robert Klein). The pregnancy is hidden until her zany best friend Lulu (Lela Rochon) spills the beans when Sarah is unable to sign the adoption papers while in the hospital during labor. When Ryan arrives at the hospital, he's confronted by Sarah, her parents, Lulu, the coming baby, and the woman Ryan is living with.
