Running out of the stopped train into the night, Ellen vainly pursues the young girl who stole her purse as the train rumbles away. Soaked from the pouring rain, with no money and her luggage still on board, Ellen finds herself spending the night in a local homeless shelter, where her manicured life of luxury collides with destitute families. Little does she know, this begins a chain of events that draws her beyond her comfort zone into an unfamiliar world populated by displaced families.
Freckle-faced Matthew, a young boy who unintentionally captures Ellen's heart when he comes to shovel snow, becomes homeless. Ellen's fragile marriage fractures as she grapples with the knowledge that the dilapidated tenement where Matthew and his family lived was bought by her husband, David, who scheduled the building for demolition.
Deeply troubled, Ellen begins volunteering at Covenant House, a family shelter, where Nikki, a pregnant teen, and her family are staying temporarily. Against her mother's wishes, Nikki adamantly decides not to abort her baby. But on a cold winter night, just before Christmas, Nikki is abducted...
Their tapestry of unusual circumstances is interwoven with surprising twists and connections as their lives are transformed. Forever.
