![]() The drama follows an 11-year-old girl's struggle to come to terms with her mother's abandonment.
Joleen needs a place to stay so she turns to her younger brother, James. Joleen and her daughter, Tara, move in but soon after Joleen leads with another man. James tries to make his niece happy but things spin out of control, he loses his job and Tara is put into foster care. James decides to take off with Tara and try to make a better life for her.
Forced out of her home after her boyfriend is arrested, Joleen Reedy (Charlize Theron) needs a place to stay with her 11-year-old daughter, Tara (AnnaSophia Robb). She turns for help to her younger brother, James (Nick Stahl) -- a simple and overly trusting man who doesn't hesitate to welcome them into his modest rental apartment.
Almost as soon as she moves in, however, Joleen hits the road with another man. Utterly ill-equipped to be the sole guardian of an adolescent girl, James does his best to make his distraught niece happy. But before long, things spin out of control: he loses his road crew job and Tara is put into foster care. Additionally, old wounds from his emotionally abusive and sometimes violent father (Dennis Hopper) begin to reopen as James is forced to re-examine his life.
