Baby Club

How far will four teenage girls go to find the unconditional love they need?

Every girl wants to be loved. But for Tynise, Lauryn, Ruby and Marisol, finding love in one of the roughest projects in Chicago is no easy task.  Neglectful parenting and uncaring boyfriends left the four fifteen year old best friends disillusioned about ever finding the one thing they have always craved, unconditional love.  Each believes having a baby will fill that void and bring them peace.  They decide to place a bet on which one of them can have a baby first and Baby Club is born.

For the first time in twenty years, teenage pregnancy is on the rise. Baby Club approaches this razor sharp issue from a unique perspective and offers a gritty portrayal of inner city life. Teenagers, parents and anyone who is interested in exploring the reasons why children have children of their own will get caught up in the lives of these girls as they struggle with crucial issues such as drug and alcohol use, relationship problems with boys, neglectful parenting, and teenage pregnancy.
