Fourteen-year-old Latonya Dennison needs a home and, as luck would have it, Rudy Morris's home is available. However, because Latonya is black and Rudy's family is white, the foster care system
is unwilling to make the placement. When Latonya, Rudy and Rudy's goofball friend, Stark, take matters into their own hands, each discovers a unique definition of family, as well as a few
surprises along the road.
