Vicky and Rhianna are twins but they couldn't be more different. Rhianna was brain damaged at birth and Vicky has to look out for her. When their mum dies and their foster parents can't cope, it looks as if Vicky, Rhianna and their brother Jamie will have to be split up. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
