What Happens

One young couple goes to have dinner with another couple as they discuss possibly adopting a child. The child’s mother, on the other hand, has different ideas. Things may not be quite as they seem.

Commentary

The situation is awkward and uncomfortable. You know you’d want to get out of there after the encounter with the mother, but they want the child badly enough to stick around. Sometimes, getting what you want isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
