Lindsey's Story
Lindsey Macallum isn't like those teenagers you read about in the papers. She doesn't go out to all-night parties, she doesn't drink, and she hasn't even got close to having a boyfriend. Lindsey is a 16-year-old 2012 Olympic diving hopeful and her life is dedicated to her sport. That is until she meets the local bad boy Robert Wisley and they fall in love.
Robert's Story
16-year-old Robert Wisley 'doesn't do girlfriends'; it wouldn't suit his bad-boy image. But all that changes when he meets Lindsey Macallum, the Olympic diving hopeful who becomes pregnant with his baby. Despite facing strong opposition from both family and friends, he surprises himself and Lindsey by embracing the idea of a baby. But he realises it's tougher than either of them imagined to keep hold of your dreams and ideals.
