Burt and Verona are a loving couple who have thus far resisted going down the marriage and baby route with their relationship. However, despite questioning their potential parenting abilities, they soon find themselves expecting a child and make the decision to move close to Burt's parents, only to find they're planning an extended trip to Germany. Keen to share the experience of parenthood with friends and family (and fearful of being left to hold the baby on their own), Burt and Verona decide to take a trans-continental trip in search of the perfect place to raise their newborn progeny.
