George Hanson (Paul Rudd) is at a dinner party when he learns from a total stranger (Jennifer Aniston) that he's about to be dumped. Fortunately, Nina Borowski is sympathetic, even offering him the spare room in her Brooklyn apartment. So when his handsome boyfriend, a college professor named Dr. Joley (Tim Daly), hesitantly admits that their relationship is over, George accepts Nina's generous invitation -- and one of the most important relationships of their lives begins. In the months that follow, Nina and George will become the best of friends -- family -- a fact which is mildly unsettling to her devoted boyfriend, an outspoken civil liberties lawyer named Vince (John Pankow). But what disturbs Vince even more is Nina's announcement that she is pregnant and that she wants to raise the baby with her gay roommate instead of with him.
