A child raised by a couple who showed her no love or affection. Her only friends are forest animals whom she loves dearly. She lives in a broken-down car with people she calls Ma and Pa.

As a child, she knows no other way of life until one night a hand clamps over her mouth and foul breath whispers in her ear, "Run, get out of here. There are plans for you that shouldn't happen to a dog."

Alone in the night, a young child races through the woods in terror until, bang! Knocking herself out and awakes to a whole new world. White walls, sounds, and smells, and they all comfort her. If only she can keep a secret, maybe she can keep her new life.
