Being raised in the loveless environs of an orphanage, April, Susan and Margaret know that their so-called futures will bring no surprises unless they escape.Ill-equipped for life on the outside, they embark upon a plan to seek out their real parents - a plan that will, against all odds, lead them into a decade-long odyssey in the wilds of the Amazon jungle, a journey which toughens their skins and minds, but never their hearts.Their return to so-called civilisation brings more, not less, trouble into their lives, but their bond of love and friendship remains intact, no matter what fate throws at them.
