Season one of Ginny and Georgia begins with 30-year old single mother, Georgia Miller,
moving to the new town of Wellsbury, Massachusetts with her 15-year old daughter, Ginny, and
her 9-year old son, Austin.
Georgia has had a history of abuse and bad relationships, making her a teen mom who constantly
throws herself into new relationships and new towns for fresh starts.
This particular move was due to the death of Georgia’s most recent husband, Kenny.
Georgia poisoned him after catching him inappropriately touching Ginny, framing his death as a heart
attack.
Upon their arrival in Wellsbury, Ginny gets a job at a local cafe, run by a man named
Joe.
Unbeknownst to Joe, Georgia was actually a girl he had briefly met as a teenager and
had developed a crush on.
Ginny quickly becomes friends with her new classmate and neighbor, Max, and develops
a crush on Max’s twin brother, Marcus.
And although Ginny begins a relationship with fellow classmate Hunter, and Marcus has a
girlfriend of his own named Padma, the two begin a secret relationship, with Marcus eventually
taking her virginity.
Due to her mother’s more carefree attitude, the teenage Ginny is forced to be the responsible
one in their relationship.
Ginny also has to deal with prejudices from being mixed race, leading to her struggling
with identity issues.
Meanwhile, Georgia struggles to fit in with the other moms in town, and her relationship
with Ginny becomes further strained.
Georgia doesn’t want her daughter making the same mistakes she did growing up, and
is therefore overly strict.
Georgia teaches her new friend, Ellen, mother to Max and Marcus, about how young people
act, and the various ways parents can keep better tabs on their kids.
Georgia also gets a job working for Mayor Paul Randolph, utilizing her charms to help
him accomplish his various plans and causes for the town.
Although Georgia begins using her new position to steal money from the town, she also begins
to fall in love with Paul.
As the two take their relationship public, Georgia’s reckless behavior begins to negatively
impact Paul’s campaign for reelection.
When Paul asks Georgia to not accompany him to a fundraising event while public resentment
toward her dies down, a frustrated Georgia turns to her ex, and Ginny’s father, Zion,
for comfort.
To make things even more complicated for the Miller family, their lives could be turned
upside down by private investigator Gabriel Cordova.
As Gabriel looks further into the death of Kenny, he discovers that Georgia’s real
name was Mary, and that her father was currently in prison for attempted murder.
And there were many other secrets that Georgia wouldn’t want Gabriel to uncover.
Not only was she responsible for Kenny’s death, but she had also shot her own step-father
for abusing her, and sent Austin’s father to prison after framing him for embezzlement.
Gabriel manages to track down Georgia’s long lost sister, Maddie, paying her to come
to Wellsbury to gain intel on Georgia.
Georgia had previously claimed to be an only child, having felt remorse for abandoning
Maddie as a kid, leaving her with their abusive parents.
Upon discovering that Georgia lied about her family, Ginny begins growing more suspicious
and bitter toward her mother.
Everything comes to a head in the season finale.
Max discovers that Ginny slept with her twin brother, Marcus, fracturing their friend group.
Hunter finds out about the affair and breaks up with Ginny.
Zion breaks things off with Georgia after realizing how much she truly loved Paul, who
then proposes to her.
Joe finally remembers that Georgia is his teenage crush, but hides his true feelings
for her upon learning of her new engagement.
Austin discovers that the letters he had been writing to his imprisoned father were never
actually sent by Georgia, so Ginny sends them, knowing Austin deserved a relationship with
his father.
As the season comes to a close, Paul is reelected as Mayor.
During his celebration with Georgia, Ginny is confronted by Gabriel, who warns her that
Georgia was dangerous.
Ginny, finally realizing that her mother had murdered Kenny to protect her, lies to Gabriel
to protect her mother.
Despite this, Ginny and Austin pack up their bags and depart Wellsbury to leave behind
all of the drama the Miller family had created in their wake.
Gabriel realizes that Kenny’s body is missing, and it’s revealed that Georgia placed his
ashes in Paul’s celebratory fireworks.
Although Georgia had successfully disposed of Kenny’s body, Gabriel’s investigation
isn’t quite over, as he receives a phone call informing him that another of Georgia’s
ex-husbands was missing and it was only a matter of time before the private investigator
discovers that Georgia had murdered him too.
