They say that desperate times call for desperate measures. That may be true, but only a quality of a person's heart can justify whether those measures are good, in spite of the situation, or bad in the glorification of it. A person's heart, and therefore their actions, are what can make a bad situation worse or better. There wasn't a person that knew her that would have said Christine Kittredge had a bad heart. In fact, it as widely believed that the Kittredge family as a whole didn't have a bad bone in their bodies, as they went out of their way to be kind to everyone...even those society frowned upon. When the Great Depression arrives on the Kittredge's doorstep, Jack Kittredge is laid off and forced to look for work in Chicago. In the meantime, Mary and her daughters, Christine and Kit, open their house to boarders in order to make ends meet. Christine, as someone who's heart has always had a special place for those less fortunate, rises to the occasion and does whatever she can to lighten her mother's load...in the process getting rather close with the Hobo boy who has been working on their house in exchange for food. When a series of crimes begin taking place at the Kittredge's house and surrounding areas, all signs point to Will as being the culprit. It is now up to Christine, her wannabe-reporter little sister Kit, and their friends, to prove Will's innocence and find out what really happened to their stolen money. All the while, Christine must navigate her feelings for Will, who holds her at an arms' length due to their polar-opposite social standing. But, maybe its true what they say. Desperate times really do call for desperate measures.
