Three girls and their family from a war-torn area of the Middle East arrive in Gretna, Louisiana. The two older girls are fraternal twins. Once enrolled in an American school, it is apparent that they all have educational and developmental concerns. The three girls are taken in by a teacher who has volunteered to include them in her class. The students become caretakers for the girls. The sisters find a welcoming place amid an atmosphere of doubt and speculation created by others on the school campus.
