Free spirited Georgia Miller arrives to Wellsbury, Massachusetts with her teenage daughter Ginny and 9-year-old son Austin after her husband dies. On her first day at her new school, Ginny faces off with her English teacher and is befriended by Maxine, through whom she meets Maxine's bad-boy twin brother Marcus and a friend of Max's, Hunter. She later kisses Marcus but also agrees to go on a date with Hunter. Meanwhile, Georgia meets Mayor Paul Randolph; Georgia has money problems because Kenny's ex wife contests the will. Ginny gets home from the date with Hunter, but she has sex with Marcus, losing her virginity. Georgia attends a board meeting held by the Mayor and blackmails Joe into giving organic food to the schools at a low price; this gets her a job at the mayor's office. Flashbacks throughout the episode reveal how Georgia was abused as a teenager, how she became pregnant with Ginny, and that her husband's crash was caused by her poisoning his smoothie with wolfs-bane.
