She's racing across NYC with her frozen future in a cooler—motherhood, but make it heist movie.
As a career-driven woman living in New York City, Lily thought she had time for marriage and a family. Forty-three and still single, she pursues IVF on her own. Rather than rely on a medical messenger service to transport her frozen eggs, Lily insists on taking this journey herself, protecting her potential future children. Racing to beat the clock, she travels from the Cryobank, picking up her frozen eggs, to the Fertility Clinic, determined to see this process through to the end. Based on a true story.
