Isabelle (travaillant à l'INSEE avec un salaire fixe et confortable) et Maxime (tentant de percer en tant que scénariste et dessinateur dans le monde de la BD) vivent ensemble une parfaite histoire d'amour jusqu'à ce qu'Isabelle annonce à Maxime sa volonté d'avoir un enfant. Maxime, n'étant pas capable d'assumer financièrement la future famille, refuse. S'ensuit alors pour le couple une série de chassés-croisés amoureux ; ruptures et réconciliations seront le lot quotidien, entre tentative de prise d'amant ou de maîtresse et présentation aux parents d'Isabelle, dont la vie rangée voire morne (bien qu'aisée) n'est pas un modèle pour les deux amoureux.
