The lives of six-year-old, handicapped, Jeffy Moffett and social worker, Kathryn Davis, are about to change in way neither can imagine.
Born on the family farm in the panhandle of Texas, Jeffy and his sister, nine-year-old Poppy, are dominated by their abusive father, Eldon Ray. Their mother, Lorraine, works the farm and tries to protect her children, but her own survival is questionable.
A call from the school principal sends Kathryn to the farm to investigate allegations of child abuse. What she finds shocks her into action. Saving them rapidly becomes her mission in life.
