Before turning thirty, they successfully achieve life's milestones: marriage and welcoming their first child. However, their idealized vision of parenthood quickly dissolves with the arrival of their newborn.

They find themselves unprepared for the overwhelming reality of raising a baby. An unforeseen avalanche of responsibilities, sleepless nights, and constant demands tests their limits. As these new parents grapple with the relentless daily grind, they begin to question their previous assumptions and wonder what they've truly gotten themselves into.
