This story is about a girl named Ash.  She was orphaned at a very young age and put in the care of an evil foster mom (not all foster parents are evil). Plus, she has been failing her classes and has been deemed a social reject in town (you will find out why later). She lost both her parents by the age of 8. Just when she was about to give up hope, it turns out her foster mom forgot to lock the backdoor in the basement! Ash took her chance to escape (while being chased by a horrifying stray dog) all the way to an elderly couple's home. One of them warmly welcomes Ash into their home and even lets Ash call her grandma! Meanwhile, Carl/'grandpa' has been quite bitter towards Ash. He thought Ash reminded him all too much of his late daughter Crystal. Join Ash in helping them find happiness again in their lives!
