In the Walker family, the age of 16 is seen as a curse rather than a milestone, according to Maddy Walker, a single mother. She firmly believes in the “Walker women’s curse” because her mother, Loretta, had her at 16, and Maddy herself gave birth to her daughter, Shante, at the same age. Determined to break this cycle, Maddy is adamant that Shante will not repeat the pattern as her own 16th birthday looms. During Shante’s sweet 16 celebration, complications arise when Maddy, who is currently seeing Cedric, encounters her old high school sweetheart, Victor—Shante’s father. Old emotions are rekindled, leading to a romantic moment between them. This lapse results in Maddy, at 32, discovering she is pregnant with Victor’s child once more. As the family navigates the unexpected pregnancy’s challenges and joys, they come to realize that a fresh start might not be as daunting as they once feared.
