Working as a music therapist at a children’s hospital in Texas, ALYSE aka Al (Samantha Smart) is deeply devoted to her patients, and has a rebellious spirit. She’s masking her struggle to face a violent, past trauma. Her world is challenged when CHARLIE, a resistant 17-year-old patient is assigned to her. Unlike her other kids, Charlie has no interest in working with Al. She doesn’t trust her at first, but there is something about Charlie that reminds Al of her past and she is drawn to her, determined to break through. Their sisterly bond grows with an unexpected force. As professional lines blur, Al moves through her past, as Charlie confronts her unknown future.
