After a passionate prom night, Sydnie’s boyfriend Lucas drops a bomb: he wants to date other girls in college. Devastated, Sydnie gives up on her travel dreams, and to make things worse, she discovers she’s pregnant. Hoping to win back Lucas, she keeps the baby despite her family’s objections. Lucas, compelled by his religious mother, returns from college. Initially upset, he eventually embraces the pregnancy as an opportunity to transform and support his family. Reuniting tentatively, Sydnie and Lucas clash over values and future plans. Enter Daniel, the charismatic lead singer of ‘Delusions of Grandeur.’ Sydnie then faces a decision: stay with Lucas and keep the baby, or pursue her dreams with Daniel.
