Plot:Four lifelong friends enter into a race against their biological clocks while working to find the perfect mates and start families. Victoria (Tamala Jones), Zenobia (Nicole Ari Parker), Clevon (Kevin Hart), and Phil (Keith Robinson) are on the cusp of middle age, yet somehow they've managed to reap the rewards of adulthood. Though Victoria has come down with a bad case of baby fever, her husband resists the idea of fatherhood. Meanwhile, Zenobia is on the hunt for a man who wants to settle down and have kids, and nerdy Clevon just wants to find a girl who will accept him at face value. The only one who has succeeded in starting a family is Phil. Unfortunately motherhood is the last thing on his wife's list of priorities. Perhaps by supporting each other, these four friends will finally find the companionship that will give their lives true meaning.
