Description

The Drop-off follows Lizzie, Megan, and Sam, three individuals who don't play by the rules.

Lizzie is a part-time midwife with four kids and a secret past. Sam is a stay-at-home dad whose marriage is on the brink. Megan is a former model with a son, a thriving business, and no time for loneliness.
