Dean is a young high school dropout, working for a New York City moving company.... Cindy is a pre-med student living with her unhappy parents and caring for her grandmother in Pennsylvania. Cindy and Dean meet by chance and rush into marriage after discovering that Cindy is pregnant, possibly from her previous boyfriend Bobby . Dean agrees to raise Cindy's daughter, Frankie, as his own.
