WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Jess (Batchelor), a young web designer, agrees to be a surrogate and egg-doner for her best friend Josh (Perfetti) and his husband Aaron (Jones). However, ten weeks into the pregnancy, a prenatal test comes back with surprising results, forcing Jess to confront a severe moral dilemma…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

What starts out as a charming, sophisticated slice-of-life drama about a good-natured surrogacy suddenly turns into a morally complex argument over what is right and wrong about certain aspects of parenting, putting The Surrogate in a much more unique category than others of its kind.
