Plot

Two sisters, 11-year-old Amanda (nicknamed Manny) and 15-year-old Laurel (nicknamed Lo), run away from several foster homes after the death of their mother, sleeping wherever they can, including in model homes. But when Lo realizes she's pregnant, the two find that they can't make it through this crisis on their own. With nowhere else to turn, they decide to kidnap Elaine, a clerk at a baby supply store. But it seems that Elaine just may need Manny and Lo as much as they need her.
