 A 16-year-old boy discovers that a girl he met at summer camp became pregnant with his child when he sees a birth announcement in the local newspaper. He is determined, however, to be a father to his baby because of his own father deserting him and his mother when he was two years old, thinking it will be easy. He learns, however, that being a father is not at all what he dreamed it would be when reality hits of making sacrifices, such as giving up a car he wanted to buy and not being able to attend a birthday party of a girl he likes at school.
