Abby Johnson (Ashley Bratcher) es una de las directoras más jóvenes de las clínicas "Planned Parenthood" que existen en la nación. Ejerciendo ese cargo ha estado involucrada hasta en 22.000 abortos y ha aconsejado a innumerables mujeres con respecto a la toma de decisiones relacionadas con la reproducción. Su pasión por la materia la llevaría a convertirse en la portavoz de la franquicia, luchando por establecer la legislación en que la ha que creído firmemente desde su adolescencia. Sin embargo, un día su perspectiva toma un inesperado rumbo tras presenciar algo que la marcará de por vida.
Brian Owens was once a prominent professor of quantum mechanics until an accident stripped him of his credentials; he now teaches at a community college. In order to reclaim his stature, he is trying to build the world's first teleportation machine in his garage at night. All of this while being romantically pursued by one of the art professors at the college, avoiding the crazy old lady next door, and being harassed by the loan sharks he borrowed money from to build his machine. But his biggest problem is he can't get his machine to work.
