Five people are at a seventeenth birthday party when one unexpectedly gives birth in the bathroom. From that moment on the five find their lives are inextricably intertwined, each of them battling not only their own problems, but secrets too. When Olivia opens the bathroom door, the last thing she expects to see is her best friend Nicola giving birth on the floor and to say Nicola is surprised is an understatement. She's not ready to be a mum, and she needs Olivia's help. But Olivia has her own problems, specifically her bullying boyfriend, Jonty, and keeping an eye on younger sister Alice. And then there's Nicola's friend Ben, who's struggling with secrets of his own.
