Lizzie Hayworth has known very little beyond the walls of her orphanage. After a bad experience with a foster family, she has spent the last eight years of her life hiding from those in search of a daughter and instead, prepares herself for a life of scrubbing fireplaces and sweeping floors.

When the mysterious Mr and Mrs Atkinson appear at the doors of the orphanage just a month before the Christmas season in search of a child, Lizzie is shocked to learn that it is her they are interested in.

With the Christmas season fast approaching, Lizzie must decide whether to trust her potential new family or follow the path she had been planning for.
