Emma is acing her new sales job. Then Darren, a colleague, comes into the picture. A romantic relationship ensues. Her manager asks her to a meeting. Emma learns she is in serious breach of company contract.
Times are hard – Emma needs to keep the job. But she also wants to keep Darren. As she tries to work her way around one ultimatum after another, Emma finds out a baby is on its way…
