A birthday gathering becomes a battleground of prejudice as a son brings his girlfriend to meet his mother, who immediately disapproves of her due to her race. Little does she know, the couple intends to announce their pregnancy, and the girlfriend is a respected doctor. Will the mother's prejudice cost her the chance to be a part of her son's life?
