The film comes from first time writer-director Brandon Tamburri. Here’s the full synopsis:
After a fun night out, the rebellious Piper (Jamie Lee) drunkenly sleeps with her awkward neighbor she hardly knows, Evan Ebert (Jon Heder), and winds up pregnant. When she attempts to tell Evan the news, she quickly realizes that he’s not the long-term guy for her and her baby. Going against the advice of her best friend Maya (Subhah Agarwal), Piper opts to keep the pregnancy a secret until she can find a more successful guy to sleep with and ultimately start a “family” with. After a few failed and comical attempts at finding a match, Piper stumbles into Cameron Cassidy (Michael Lombardi), a successful businessman who is a regular at the café she works at. Everything appears to be going according to plan as Cameron quickly falls for Piper and is onboard for the pregnancy. However, Piper’s evil scheme starts to unravel when she begins to second guess herself and realize that she might be making the biggest mistake of her life.
The film is shooting in New Jersey, and has not yet set a release date. We will keep you posted.
