Co-written and directed by Spike Lee in 2004. John Henry Armstrong is vice-president in a pharmaceutical company which is developing a vaccine against AIDS. One day, his colleague, Dr. SCHILLER, commits suicide in his office after haven given to Armstrong a CD revealing that the CEO of the company, Leland Powell, misled the federal authorities and grew rich illegally at the expense of the company. Armstrong informs the authorities by an anonymous phone call and is laid off by Powell the following day.
Unemployed, John, who was until now only interested in his professional career, spends more time with his family. One evening, his ex-girl-friend Fatima comes to see him in the company of her friend Alex. Fatima had left John little before their scheduled marriage when she realized that she was more attracted by women then by men. Now, Alex as well as Fatima want to have a child and ask John to impregnate them. John accepts and, the following weeks, Fatima introduces to John fifteen of her lesbian friends who, by paying $10,000 for a meeting with John, will finally become pregnant.
Meanwhile, Leland Powell denounces John to the authorities and accuses him of being responsible for the financial problems of the company. John is sent to prison and, later, defends himself in front of the Federal Judges in Washington, surrounded by the fifteen women he impregnated.
