Juno is a story told over four seasons, starting in autumn when a sixteen-year-old high school girl by the name of Juno realizes that she is pregnant. Notably, Juno was from Minnesota and she discovered that she was pregnant after she engaged in unprotected sex with Bleeker who happened to be one of her best friends. In an abortion clinic, the whip-sharp and quirky Juno takes the decision of giving birthplace the baby with an adoptive couple (2:36).
