    Storyline

    Edit
    Amy Winslow (Alyssa Milano) wants to go to art college but can't get her financial aid approved. A help wanted ad leads to a couple that will let her move into their quiet guest home rent free, a dream come true except that Joan(Connie Selleca) wants Amy to be a surrogate mother for her next child. Little does Amy know the dark sinister reasons behind her desire, the scandalous death of Joan's first infant child and the fear she might hurt her next baby. The baby is adopted before Amy wakes up in the hospital, leading to a dangerous confrontation to claim the child finally for her own. —arcadiafan

    Samantha Micelli from Who's the Boss? meets Pam Davidson Hinkley from The Greatest American Hero
    I watch this movie on YouTube and I hope it never gets taken down because I never get tired of watching the characters that Connie Sellecca and David Dukes play in this movie get what they deserve at the end of this movie. I think Connie Sellecca is too nice to play the role as a villain. All the other characters she played were nice ladies and she is a nice lady in real life. I can't believe Alyssa Milano trusted her. And what Alyssa Milano and Connie Sellecca have in common is that they're both Italian Americans who were born in New York City but they were born in different parts of New York City. Alyssa Milano was born in Brooklyn and Connie Sellecca was born in The Bronx.
