The Surrogate is a contemporary dramedy about a group of Bay Area friends in their early 40s navigating life's messy moments together: expecting a surrogate baby, a long and deep friendship in jeopardy, two women deciding to marry after years of living together, a novelist with crippling writer's block. Capturing this next uncharted chapter of their extended family, The Surrogate explores the secrets and complicated nature of parenthood and the modern family, all the while testing the boundaries of love and friendship and the bioethics of surrogacy.
