Four orphans have escaped from the Home for Friendless Children.
One is Lucy, who used to talk and sing, until life at the Home silenced
her. The other orphans find work and friends at the circus, but no one

behind when the circus goes on the rails. Meanwhile, people are
searching for Lucy, and her puzzling past is about to catch up with her.
