What is Ginny and Georgia about?

Ginny & Georgia tells the story of a single mum named Georgia who moves with her two kids - Ginny and Austin - to an affluent town in Massachusetts to give them a better life.

The very start of the show shows Ginny, who is very clever but doesn't have many friends at school, being told by her teacher that her stepdad died in a car accident - and the family move to fictional town Wellsbury after the funeral.

The series is told in both present day and flashbacks, with Georgia's mysterious past being the subject of the scenes in the past.

Ginny's and her time at school is a central focus of the show - she is shown to have two loves interests, Marcus and Hunter, in episode one, and also makes friends with her neighbour Maxine.

Georgia also gets offered a job at the handsome mayor's office in the first episode, with her work there also becoming a central storyline.
