Eighteen-year-old Jeff Browning is eagerly looking forward to graduating from high school and attending college. For the past year he`s been dating 16-year-old Christy, although he has recently decided to end the relationship. However, before he can inform Christy of this decision, she tells him she is pregnant with his child. Although he urges her to have an abortion, Christy is determined to have the child and raise it on her own if necessary. Suddenly, everything in Jeff`s life changes, and even though he considers himself too young to become a father, a father is exactly what he will become.
