Melanie Kendall dreams of becoming a singer-songwriter, but when a tragic event, the death of her baby brother tied to her mother's alcoholism, breaks her family apart, Melanie is removed from her home and thrown into the foster care system. Placed in a children's home that attempts to exploit her musical talent, and confronting the very real dangers vulnerable teenagers face within the care system, Melanie must draw on extraordinary strength and resilience to find her way back to the music, and the sense of hope, she once abandoned.
Review:
An uplifting story that doesn't shy away from tough subject matter, anchored by genuine chemistry between its two central performers, even where some supporting performances feel less assured.
