Plot:
Dr. Jack Freeman heads a Las Vegas fertility clinic specializing in ART (assisted reproductive technology). The clinic is largely seen as the last resort for anyone wanting to have a child for whatever reason and is unable to have one without some sort of intervention. Dr. Freeman deals with nine different cases at the same time, the vastly different women with their vastly different situations and the people supporting them in their venture often meeting each other in the waiting room. Their concurrent processes include the consultation, the egg collection, the sperm donation, the embryo implantation, and the announcement of success or failure to each woman and her support as applicable, so as to achieve the efficiencies like an assembly line. Unlike most clinics which have a ninety percent failure rate, the success, at least with these nine, is ninety percent, with only one, Salome Marsh, not becoming clinically pregnant after the treatment. However, a few weeks later, Sally is able to get pregnant by regular, sexual intercourse despite the odds against her becoming pregnant without intervention. All nine pregnancies go to term with all nine being successful births. One of the nine mothers, journalist Tallulah Williams - Tutu - notices in the photos shared by the parents that all the babies look remarkably similar, despite not all the biological parents, most specifically the fathers, being Caucasian, which the babies look like. The only seeming guarantee is the identity of Sally's baby's father as the man with who she had sex. As such, Dr. Freeman and the clinic face an official investigation into possible impropriety, including why he is able to achieve such a high rate of success, with each of the nine sets of clients questioned. They are questioned regardless of their feelings about the matter, with some just happy to have that child, while some really do want to get to the bottom of the matter if only to discover if Dr. Freeman has an end goal if he did act improperly.
