The story focuses on Annie, played by Kendrick, and her husband Aaron, portrayed by Rogen. They are a couple grappling with the decision of whether to have children when their lives take an unexpected turn. Their plans shift dramatically when a newly divorced friend moves in with her four-year-old child, thrusting them into the world of co-parenting.
