Reena, a young Indian-American woman, is attempting to strike a balance between her lesbian identity and the traditional customs of her disapproving, yet closely knit family. When her married sister realizes that she cannot have a baby, Reena volunteers to be artificially inseminated, much to her girlfriend's chagrin. Just as she discovers that she is pregnant, her sister backs out of the agreement. Reena decides to have the baby and raise it on her own if she has to, despite everyone's objections.
