What a cruel and unhappy life 11 year old Min has led. Her earliest memories are of being abused, then abandoned in a fair washroom. She 'hasn't worked out' with four different foster families and is again returned to Children's Aid the week before Christmas.
Enter Dr. Jess Hart, who because of her own tragic childhood may have what Min needs to turn her life around and her own in the process. Add a badly mistreated dog, a loving puppy and a resourceful and enthusiastic 12 year old boy and you have all the ingredients you need for a happy ending..or do you?
