What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear about a young, Black couple becoming teen parents?

For Michael and Joyce, the outcome defied all stereotypes. They got married and flourished into the ultimate suburban dream, their “ideal black family” on constant display. Now in their thirties, they have one son heading to college, a daughter not far behind, and a future full of unknowns.

But when Joyce finds herself unexpectedly pregnant and Michael commits the ultimate suburban sin by cheating on her with a woman living a mere two blocks away, the pressures on their marriage cause a crack in that flawless façade that will test the strength of the entire family. Joyce fights to keep the illusion of perfection intact while Michael is torn between obligation and the tantalizing taste of freedom. But Michael’s mistress comes with secrets of her own that hold the power to destroy much more than a marriage.
