Sophia and her mom live alone for years; then her mother marries Juan, a great aunt from Bosnia comes to live with them, and Pablo, an orphan boy found crossing the desert, becomes their foster child. Sophia soon grows accustomed to having family, but becomes fearful they will all abandon her. Sophia realizes that being afraid of life is no way to live, so she agrees to accompany her Aunt Dika, Mr. Lorenzo, and his son Angel to take Pablo back to his family in Mexico. Sophia must encounter danger and experience her first love before she realizes that life is meant to be lived to the fullest.
