On Long Island, New York, naïve and unbookish 17-year-old Maria Coughlin informs her parents that she has dropped out of high school and is pregnant by her boyfriend Anthony, whom she plans to marry. When Maria's father John calls her a "slut" and orders her to leave, she slaps him across the face. As Maria storms out, John dies of a sudden heart attack.
