When sixteen-year-old Adela Woods is sent to her grandmother's house in a forgotten Florida beach town to have her baby in secret, she expects to return home unchanged. Instead, she meets Emory, who is determined to finish school even if it means going to class with her newborn strapped to her chest. Then she meets Simone, the fearless ringleader of 'the Girls', a tribe of young mothers raising themselves alongside their children. The town thinks these girls have lost their way. Really, they're finding it - through friendship, love and heartbreak under the relentless Florida sun. But when shifting loyalties give way to betrayal, will the ties holding 'the Girls' together come apart?
