A story or abuse, pain, homelessness, prostitution, brokenness, and then triumph, Kathy Goodson tries to help at-risk young women realize their purpose in life so that they may go on to live a better life. At first, the girls do not take well to her because they believe that she is just a state-appointed shrink sent there to give them false hope. As Kathy opens up about her story, she finds that she has some unhealed wounds as well; particularly with her mother who had abandoned her when she was just five years old. Through healing her girls and ultimately herself, she finds the courage to stop running from her past and live again.
