Sixteen-year-old Dusty is smart, talented and fiercely protective of her younger sister Poppy. They've been moved from foster carer to foster carer, until one day the unthinkable happens: Dusty and Poppy are separated. Dusty is sent to a children's home in a different town; Poppy to a family hundreds of miles away. No one can say when they will see each other again. Devastated but determined, Dusty has to find a way to reach Poppy. Everything seems stacked against her until she meets beautiful, fearless Cooper at the home, and together they decide to run. What follows is a heart-breaking love story, road movie, tense police hunt, and hope-filled celebration of sibling bonds and kindness, which shines a light on a failing care sector where a quarter of children are living apart from their siblings.
