Carlie knows she's got no say in what happens to her. Stuck in a foster
home with two other kids, Harvey and Thomas J, she's just a pinball
being bounced from bumper to bumper. As soon as you get settled,
somebody puts another coin in the machine and off you go again. But
against her will and her better judgement, Carlie and the boys become
friends. And all three of them start to see that they can take control
of their own lives.
