Seventeen-year-old Noreen Stall seems to mess up everything she touches. She runs away from a decent home with her married stepsister to live with her boyfriend Wesley. When Noreen gets pregnant, she feels like she needs to run away again. Noreen steals Wesley's truck and money and ends up in a small town. She finds herself outside a rundown café owned by a lady named Lynda. Lynda's heart goes out to Noreen, seeing her deep hurt. Lynda's own life has been a series of struggles and disappointments. Delores Harper, an older lady who has recently experienced the loss of her adult daughter, reaches out to Noreen and helps her to open up. Noreen doesn't know what she wants to do about the baby, but she knows more than anything that she won't make a very good mother.
