Plot

One day Sammy and his younger sister Ellie happen upon a cabin where Alice, a young, partially deaf girl with epilepsy is being kept by her abusive stepfather. The three soon become friends and hope to get Alice an education and help her escape from the torture she undergoes daily.

Sinekatalog’s take

Siblings discover a girl locked in a cabin by her abusive stepfather and try to help her. The tone mixes childhood adventure with darker material. A sincere, if uneven, family drama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
