- A same sex couple try and find a surrogate mother for their baby.
- An off-the-wall look at the perils of trying to conceive a child with a surrogate, Burn Out The Day tells the story of two young mens dream of parenthood and their attempts to make it happen.
Intruding on their hopes is the menacing shadow of big pharma, since one of the pair has made himself sick moonlighting as a lab rat for pharmaceutical companies and the other is still doing it.
Worse still, hes double dipping working for rival companies and lying about the time between tests to make more money. In response to his partners pleas to stop, he claims the testing has had no effect on the partners health and accuses him of being a hypochondriac.
In a leap of faith, the sick partner, who seems to be getting worse, proposes they raise a child together. His lover agrees but insists that he be the one to plant his seed in the surrogate.
A gay friend tries to talk them out of the plan but to no avail.
The hapless pair set about asking their female friends if they would agree to have sex with one of them and bear the child. Most decline, citing the possible damage the men have done to themselves with all of the toxins they have put in their bodies. One attempted tryst behind the partners back goes messily awry leaving a stain not just on his conscience.
Finally one female friend steps up to the plate, agreeing to have the child on the condition that he give up the lab rat work. The unconventional ménage-a-trois leave New York for a warm southern climate to find a state of mind in which to concoct their plan.
Still the sex doesnt go as planned he just cant get his mojo on. One of the lovers finds himself lost in the wilderness while the others seek out a local shaman to help them overcome their big night nerves.
