Set during an oppressively hot summer in the Deep South, 'The Baby Dance' is the story of two couples: a well-off California husband and wife who have everything except a baby, and the struggling Louisiana parents who've agreed to give them for adoption their soon-to-be-born fifth child. What seems to be a mutually beneficial arrangement turns out to be a powder keg of emotion - resentment, forgiveness, love, and self-doubt.
