A man and woman wake up in a California apartment with no memory of who they are or how they got there. All doors are locked and all that is there is a crib with a fried chicken leg in it. Slowly their memories start to reform and the characters gain back their identities. Man had rescued Woman from an abusive relationship after she accidentally calls him instead of a rape-and-abuse counseling service. She becomes pregnant with a baby that may or may not be Man's and is pursued by her former abusive boyfriend, Abel, throughout the years. They revisit the memories that haunt them and eventually rediscover who they are as parents.
