Elle Fanning as Margot is at the centre of a massive financial crisis after becoming a young mother in Margo's Got Money Troubles—And the only way out, she figures, is generating money through posting "attractive" pictures on the internet.
The first trailer for the comedy drama, which is scheduled for release on Apple TV on March 15, shows Margot falling in love with her professor (Michael Angarano). One thing leads to another, and she becomes pregnant. After an emotional ordeal, she seeks the help of her mother Shyanne (Michelle Pfieffer) and chooses to keep the child. But soon, she realises the mounting diaper costs and bills to keep the baby alive, were not going to pay for itself. So, Margo gets on a mission to find any job that sustains her and when she finds a lucrative one, it invites legal issues, stigma and familial tensions.
