In the beginning, Isabelle and Jason were full-time business partners and part-time friends. Seventeen-year-old Isabelle didn’t expect their relationship to bud into something a little more than friends, and she certainly didn’t expect what was to come just a few months later.

That’s when she reads the results of her home pregnancy test. Two lines means pregnant, and pregnant is the very last thing Isabelle wants to be. She’s just beginning her senior year; she’s rekindling the respectable relationship she once had with her family; and she’s finally fallen in love.

Jason, now her boyfriend, lobbies for an abortion, while Isabelle wants to give her baby a chance at life—whether that means adoption or raising her baby herself. Her situation raises questions of values, beliefs, rights, societal expectations, and personal opinions; what’s more, as Isabelle’s friends and family discover the news, they seem to think only they know what’s best for her and her baby. Within two weeks of finding out about their beautiful disaster, Isabelle and Jason have to come to a mutual agreement and make a life or death decision.
