To compound the death of both her parents she is left an orphaned due to the fact her parents had immigrated from Eastern Europe country, parts and family unknown. Nadia finds herself going from the cocoon of a tight loving family unit to the cold impersonal foster care system. She is bounced from one home to another for various reasons. Right before her 16th birthday she is dropped off at the Daniel's house. Upon arrival Nadia and her case worker are greeted at the door by a smiling and joking Paul and Nancy Daniel, after Nadia get behind the closed door into the house, the terror really begins. Her only savior are the 3 other foster kids in the house. Conway a younger foster sister and than there is Garrick and Trace the 2 older foster brothers. The 4 cling to each other because even though the home life is a mess they have forged a family bond and know it can be worse at the next house. After a tragic accident the siblings are split up and almost 10 years later they reconnect. The feelings between Trace and Nadia have not died.
