After learning the girl is a foster child, Jenny decides to raise the girl, whom she names Margaret, as her own. Their life as a family is complicated by Jenny's erratic behavior as well as Gene's frequent absences and unfulfilled promises. Despite this, Margaret forms a strong bond with both of them, a bond that is tested when Margaret learns about her abduction. At fifteen, Margaret leaves home to seek answers about who she is and where she truly belongs.
