Chicago, 1968. As the city and the nation are poised on the brink of political upheaval, suburban housewife Joy (Elizabeth Banks) leads an ordinary life with her husband and daughter. When Joy’s pregnancy leads to a life-threatening heart condition, she must navigate an all-male medical establishment unwilling to terminate her pregnancy in order to save her life. Her journey for a solution leads her to Virginia (Sigourney Weaver), an independent visionary fiercely committed to women’s health, and Gwen (Wunmi Mosaku), an activist who dreams of a day when all women will have access to abortion, regardless of their ability to pay. Joy is so inspired by their work, she decides to join forces with them, putting every aspect of her life on the line.

"My impulse was to create a piece that allowed for each character’s point of view to thrive and be communicated without moral judgment but with the kind of messy, complex, and contradictory behaviors that encourage empathy in audiences," Nagy said of approaching the movie's controversial subject matter. "No lectures welcome. Subtext, humor and above all—the belief that the political is always personal—guided my development of the script, and ultimately, those convictions held from page to screen."

Nagy added, "Telling this story through the point of view of an ordinary woman who finds herself in rather extraordinary circumstances and denied all personal choice at a critical time guided my year of careful reshaping and crafting of an already fine script to reflect an intensely political narrative that doesn’t take place in a political arena, per se, but which scene by scene shifts the idea of what a political arena is—or could be."
