Stephanie Monroe (Valerie Bertinelli) is a single mother raising her eight year old daughter, Abby Monroe (Juliet Sorci). On one night, Stephanie has to go to school and Abby begs her mother to stay at home alone, rather than going to a babysitter's house. When Abby falls down, she gets scared and calls the police, thinking that they will bring her to her mother. The police arrives and instead places Abby in protective custody of the court. Stephanie must fight with the state to get her daughter back.[1]
Valerie Bertinelli turned down her role for the film several times before accepting it.[2]
