Fourteen-year-old Carey and six-year-old Jenessa have lived in the woods with their mother for as long as they can remember. Abandoned, they must fend for themselves, until they're found by Carey's father and forced into a new world of comfort. Carey desperately wants to believe in this new reality but is held back by loyalty to her mentally ill mother, and the other piece of her past that haunts her: the story of what happened to her and Jenessa that night in the woods.
