Three orphaned sisters, each burdened with fears, find themselves fleeing from an abusive, revenge-seeking foster mother. The girls evade authorities and their past when they land on the doorstep of a bachelor, who lives with his two German shepherds at his rural Washington state home. Twelve-year-old Chris, a victim of sexual abuse, only wants to keep her sisters together, Katie, 10, a victim of physical abuse and eight-year-old Jane, a victim of verbal abuse. Fleeing from their past, the girls grow closer to the man who decides to battle the court system to adopt them. But the girl's psychotic foster mother and a tragic ending await the sisters when their horrifying past finally catches up to them.
