Plot Siblings Kelly and Eddie Charles eagerly await alongside journalist Kathleen Mercer for the release of their father Jack Charles from prison. Fifteen months earlier, Kelly escapes from the corrupt state-run home in LA Bigelow Hall by breaking a window and fleeing in the night. Jack is a petty criminal facing prison time. He robbed drug dealers until he robbed an uncover cop posing as one. He's also waiting for a large deal to come in. With their mother dead, the kids were left in the foster system. Kelly finds Jack when she’s out, telling him that her 7-year-old brother Eddie is about to be placed in Bigelow Hall. She describes to him their abusive treatment, including putting them in handcuffs.
