Late twenty-somethings Amanda and Sean are largely a victim of external circumstances. They both worked for the same company when it went bankrupt, leaving them both unemployed. At that time, Amanda was three months pregnant with who is now their sixteen month old daughter, Lyric. They were already facing financial difficulties then, which escalated from that time. They have both since managed to find other part-time jobs, Amanda's being freelance which allows her stay at home with Lyric, in-between trying to finish her schooling.
