Maggie resents the fact that she had to leave her school, her friends, her life, back in New York City. Most of all, she resents the fact that she had to leave behind her mother. Unable to adjust to life in a small town, even after a whole year, she concocts a plan to go back to The City. With help from her new found friend, Matthew, Maggie goes on a wild adventure to get back to her mother. But as Maggie is about to learn, some truths are better left hidden.
