She used to travel around in a limousine with her movie star parents. She had everything she could ever want. Not anymore. She hates her new life and her and her new friend Annie make a plan to escape the orphanage that they agree feels like a jail. Will their plan work and will they be free forever? Or will they just cause a problem?
