Marcus and Claire (Alex Jones and Melody Marks) are a down-on-their-luck couple, having hit a string of bad luck recently which has left them without a place to live. Luckily, their ex-college professor, Frank (Ken Feels), has agreed to let them stay with him at his home. Marcus and Claire feel embarrassed to have to ask this of Frank, but at the same time, it's not like they have a choice. They assure him that they'll be back on their feet in no time. Frank, however, is welcoming and generous, assuring them that this is just a speed bump on the road of life. And besides, he's happy to help his ex-students. insisting that 'mi casa es su casa'. But as the days go by, the couple soon finds that Frank's open-door policy is a bit more intense than they initially expected. Franks seems to always walk in on them when they're getting frisky, and although he acts casual about what he sees, there's a distinct sense that he's almost doing it on purpose. The more it happens, however, the more normal it begins to feel, to the point where Marcus and Claire are totally unfazed by the intrusions and interruptions. But then one day, things get dialed up a notch when Frank walks in on Marcus and Claire having sex in the living room. Frank insists that they continue fucking, even though he remains in the room. Marcus and Claire don't hesitate, continuing to fuck as Frank watches TV next to them. Eventually, however, Frank can't help but ask if he can join. The couple are a bit taken aback, but ultimately resolve to reward their host for his sublime hospitality with a threesome.

April (Alina Lopez), a teen babysitter, climbs the front steps of a residential home. For her, this is just another day. Another job and a few more dollars in her pocket, which she really needs. However, it looks like the man living in this home is well off because the place is HUGE! She knocks on the door and a pleasant man (Dick Chibbles) greets her. 'Mr. Perry?' April greets with a smile. 'Yes, that's me. You must be April, welcome!' Trent says. April beams, saying that she's pleased to meet him and that she can't wait to meet the boys. April moves into the living room with Trent, making some small talk where it's revealed that she's raising her younger stepbrother. Her parents passed away, so it's all on her now. Trent is sympathetic, though he moves onto asking her questions that seem a little beyond small talk. What nationality is she, is she a gymnast, how's school going? April politely answers all the questions the best she can, even if she's uncomfortable. When it comes to school, she admits that she wants to go into fashion, though money's a bit tight since she didn't get a scholarship. Trent seems intrigued and says, well, there's no shame in working for it! April then asks where the boys are and he says they're in the playroom. He's just going to be gone for a few hours, so hopefully she won't have issues with them. When April asks when the wife will be home, though, Trent gets a bit dodgy. He simply says that she won't be coming home. She's at work and has a deadline, so... Anyway, is April ready to meet the little one? April smiles and says that she is and heads off down the hall where she's directed. As she does, Trent walks behind her with a longing gaze. 'One hell of a stepmother...' he says under his breath. TITLE PLATE CUT TO hours later, and April is tidying up the living room after having put the stepfamily to bed. She picks up a few toys then moves to a table where there are crayons and a drawing. She sets the toys aside and smiles to herself. 'Aw, I wonder what they drew...?' she says to herself as she picks up the drawing. As soon as she gazes at it, her brows furrow with confusion. It's a picture with stick figures. There's a man labeled 'StepDad' and a woman next to him labeled 'Claire.' They are surrounded by three boys. They all look happy. There's another woman off to the far side labeled 'StepMom.' She is smiling too but a dark crayon has scribbled her out. The picture has a disturbing vibe. 'What does this mean?' April murmurs to herself as she tries to make sense of the picture. She's a little unnerved, putting the paper back down on the table. Curious, she takes out her phone and does some research. She pulls up a search engine and searches Trent Perry's name. She quickly finds an obituary for his wife. She hears movement behind her and whirls around. Trent is looming in the doorway, looking menacing. April's startled, demanding to know what the hell is going on in this house? She points to the page on her phone with his wife's obituary -- why is he lying?! Trent looks devastated as grief washes over him, though he shakes it off. 'Listen, I can explain...' he starts, begging for her to just hear him out. April hurries to get out of there, but before she's out the door, Trent blurts, 'Have you ever had someone just DIE on you?' April pauses, painfully remembering her parents' deaths, and remains, letting him have a chance to explain himself. He begins to tell her a sad story about how he and his wife had been trying to have a baby for YEARS. Then one day, they finally got lucky, though the doctor told her not to take the baby to term. She did, anyway, but passed away giving Trent their firstborn stepson. Even though he loves his stepson, he wished he'd been given a stepdaughter because that's what they've always wanted. April is wary, but moved by his plight, and says she's sorry for his loss. She was so confused by the picture... But who's Claire? Trent explains that Claire, the sweet young woman in that drawing, was a wet nurse for his stepson in that first year, someone he came to know very well in those dark days, and like April, she was someone with great maternal instincts. Desperate to rebuild his stepfamily, they made an arrangement in hopes of Claire giving him a stepdaughter, but he got two other sons instead. And now? Claire is gone... When April asks where Claire is now, Trent dismisses the question. Instead, he says that he hopes that April can be the one to give him a stepdaughter. April is freaked out, flat-out refusing him, though Trent quickly assures her that she doesn't need to be in LOVE with him! He's just asking her to be the vessel for his stepdaughter. Listen, April needs to pay for college, right? He can take care of that for her! Her younger stepbrother? Trent can make sure he gets into the best private school. Money isn't an issue for him, he just needs a womb. It's just 9 months of April's life. Plus, she'd be fulfilling his wife's last wish... April needs a few moments to think it over, conflicted. This is a lot to ask of someone, but she needs the money. She has to provide for her stepbrother and she has big dreams for herself as well. Finally, she asks how much Trent can offer her, signaling that she's open to the deal. Trent is relieved as he approaches April and takes her by the arm, their eyes meeting. Without saying a word, although there is a mutual understanding, he slowly leads her upstairs.

Two teenage girls, Allie (Gia Paige) and Beth (Avi Love), are sharing a tearful goodbye. They'd been in the foster system together for years -- it's like they're stepsisters -- but now Beth is moving in with a different foster stepfamily. For the first time, they're going to be separated, and Allie is worried that Beth is going to forget all about her once she has a taste of her new life. Although Beth assures her that that's never going to happen, when they hug then part ways, Allie's sure she's never going to see her best friend ever again. Her hopes are lifted when she receives a phone call from Beth weeks later, inviting her to visit her at the stepfamily's vacation home. Although Allie is hurt that Beth didn't contact her sooner, she jumps at the chance to see her again. When she later arrives at Beth's new home, which is more luxurious than anything she's ever seen in her life, Allie feels out of place. She feels even MORE out of place once she reunites with Beth and meets her new foster parents, Maria (Silvia Saige) and Shane (Steve Holmes). Beth is... different... somehow, and Maria and Shane give off creepy vibes with how intimate they are with Beth. It doesn't feel right. Concerned for Beth, Allie tries to privately ask her if she's safe. Allie's world comes crashing down when she learns that Beth has been having sex with Maria and Shane in exchange for stability! Although she's horrified at the thought, when the stepfamily offers the same deal to Allie, it's the hardest decision she'll ever have to make.
