Four ladies from very different backgrounds end up living together in Brooklyn, New York. Though their new apartment and improved living conditions represent a new start, old habits die hard. Many of the issues from their past lives seep into their new life like a virus therefore causing drama and misunderstanding. For the most part, the ladies try to be friends but culture conflicts and indifference won't let them.

Things take a drastic turn when all four roommates discover that they are all pregnant, for each other's boyfriend. Now, it is up to the boyfriends to choose themselves or fatherhood.
