Arabella Ray is a 12 year old outcast at Huntington Beach Orphanage. When she was only 3 years old, her parents left her with a friend of theirs, Laraine, before they went on a "business trip" to London. The only problem was Laraine couldn't afford to take care of 5 kids. So she had to put Arabella up for adoption but before she did so, she made a promise to Arabella saying that she would adopt her as soon as she could afford another child.
