A streetwise teenage runaway is on the lam from her probation officer. Her name is Jacquelyn, but if you call her anything but Jack, shell cut you. Needing to lay low, earn money, and gain adequate stability to rescue her 11yearold sister Coke from foster care, Jack cons her way into a suburban home as livein helper for their autistic 11yearold daughter, Glory. Much to her surprise, Jack has a unique ability to connect with the nonverbal little girl. As she positively impacts Glory, the family impacts Jack. Particularly Kay, Glorys mother. As these two scrappy survivors find an affinity with each other, Kay finds in Jack a daughter she can talk to. When romantic sparks fly between Jack and Robert, Glorys 17yearold brother, we see a group of wounded people poignantly and surprisingly begin to heal each otherjust a little bit. But the law catches up, the truth comes out, and Jack is forced to make a choiceto save her own hide, or save someone else.
