Countdown to Love: The Year of Us

Emma Miller's father works away from home on building sites and cannot get the wages he is owed. He goes to ask for them and the employer runs him over, leaving him badly hurt. Emma goes to the city to get compensation. While she is there she spends a night with Jacob Smith, an heir who keeps to himself, and afterwards she is taken for a woman after his money. She finds she is pregnant. Her father's hospital bills go unpaid and the two of them are put out of the ward, so they sleep on the street and pick through rubbish for anything worth money. Her father goes back to the employer one more time, for the grandchild's sake, and it turns dangerous. Emma runs after him and is in it with him. Jacob turns up while it is going on, gets the truth about the night and about the pregnancy, and takes the two of them away with him.
