Alice macht einen geistig zurückgebliebenen Eindruck und wird von ihrem Vater in einem Schuppen eingesperrt, wohl um sie zu verstecken. Als die Geschwister sich dennoch heimlich mit Alice beschäftigen merken diese schnell, dass Alice nicht zurückgeblieben sondern lediglich schwerhörig ist. Zudem leidet sie an Epilepsie. Alice beginnt durch den Kontakt zu Ellie und Sammy aufzublühen, doch dann bemerkt der Vater die heimliche Freundschaft.
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. However, Alice's stepfather soon finds out about the friendship Alice has struck up and punishes her brutally. This story of friendship and youth shows that everyone is human and deserves to be treated so, no matter their disability or weakness.
