The narrative centers on Elinor Benton, a young woman grappling with an unexpected pregnancy in 19th-century England, facing the harsh realities of being unmarried in her society. In a bid to avoid scandal and reshape her destiny, she embarks on a transformative road trip with her closest friends, aiming to seek assistance from a woman who might help alter her course. This journey not only provides comedic moments but also offers profound insights into friendship and self-determination.
