Synopsis: When Taryn, a Northern Irish runaway, finds herself in trouble in Ocean City, MD, she seeks refuge with her aunt and uncle in Baltimore. But Kim and Bill have problems of their own: they're trying to handle the end of their marriage gracefully for the sake of their daughter Abby, just home from her first year of college.

You don't have to

shout, Mum.

Can you put Dad on?

It's dear, ya know.

Calling overseas and he doesn't

even want to talk to me.

Fine, just

don't shout, all right?

I have to go.

I'm hanging up.

I'm sorry.

I'll call you later.

Bye.

Hey.

How was New York?

I was just there

for the day.

Blew an audition.

My mom here?

In her studio, I think.

So, what's new?

Look, Taryn...

I'm sorry

I yelled at you.

I don't even know why

I did, I just...

I wasn't

even mad at you.

You could have

fooled me.

The summer's just been

really shitty, you know.

I'm not trying to be

their new daughter, Abby.

It's not like that

at all.

I know.

Obviously, I came at

a really bad time,

but I didn't know that.

I didn't know

where else to go.

It's all right.

I'm f***ing pregnant, Abby.

- What?

I could go home.

I don't want to.

Oh, my God.

Why didn't

you tell me?

I still haven't

told my mum.

Who's the dad?

Some a**hole

from the beach.

Who is he?

Are you in touch with him?

- No.

He has no idea.

Sh*t.

Do my parents know?

I told Kim.

What are you

going to do?

I don't know.

F***.

I'm so scared.

I'm so sorry.

You didn't do it.

That's a relief.

Thanks.
