La Irlanda rural, 1981. Cáit es una reservada niña de nueve años que está desatendida por parte de su pobre, disfuncional y demasiado numerosa familia.

Cuando llega el verano y se acerca la fecha del parto de su madre, Cáit es enviada a vivir con unos parientes lejanos. Sin saber cuándo volverá a casa, se queda en el hogar de unos desconocidos sin más pertenencias que la ropa que lleva puesta. Poco a poco, y gracias a los cuidados de la familia Kinsella, Cáit realiza notables progresos y descubre una nueva forma de vivir. Pero en esta casa donde reina el afecto y no parece haber secretos, ella descubre una dolorosa verdad.
