How does the morning after pill work?

Kahlan
I haven't had sex yet and so I haven't gotten birth control yet. Me and this guy want to have sex and duh I'm going use a condom(we'd be stupid if we didn't) but I wanted to make sure I was covered on my end. 
So how exactly does the morning after pill work?
