The film chronicles the journey of Jean Purdy, Bob Edwards, and Patrick Steptoe, the pioneering doctors and scientists behind the invention of IVF, as they face numerous challenges over a decade to achieve this groundbreaking medical feat. While Jean emerges as the central figure in Joy's narrative, the movie begins with an uncomfortable voiceover in which Dr. Edwards beseeches an unspecified audience at an indeterminate moment to ensure that Jean's name is inscribed on a plaque honoring their shared achievement.
