In 1963, liberal-minded and reckless Lydia Callahan is raising her 14-year-old son, Sam. Lydia's father Caspar, a prominent local businessman, is running for governor of North Carolina, and does not want Lydia and Sam in his way, so the two are banished from North Carolina. They travel across the country and settle in Wyoming, where Lydia only wants to have a good time and refuses to allow Sam to call her "mom."
Sam soon finds out that he is one of only two students in Gro Vont High School who read. The other one is Maurey, a girl the same age as Sam who wants to learn about sex. Consequent to their mutual discoveries, Maurey becomes pregnant. She decides to have an abortion in a distant hospital and, by accident, runs into her mother and the baseball coach who are also there for the same reason.
After that Maurey moves in with Lydia and Sam since her father kicked her out from his house. Meanwhile, Hank Elkrunner, a Blackfoot, falls for the feckless Lydia, while her dictatorial dad keeps tabs on them all from afar.
Later when Sam and Maurey were in their underwear (Sam in the briefs and Maurey in the panties and bra) and the clothes we're hanging around the bed, Maurey ask Sam to go first but Sam told Maurey to ask her to go as well, Eventually they both stood naked, that embarrassing Sam but Maurey said they would skip parts and they embrace.
In the end, Maurey decides not to have an abortion and keeps the baby, a little girl named Shannon. After being threatened to be financially cut off unless she breaks up with Hank and lets Sam go to military school, Lydia decides to stay with Hank, and takes a job at the local diner. In addition, Hank sells his trailer and moves in with Sam and Lydia, along with Maurey and Shannon who decide to permanently move in.
