Gracie Thompson, Kristen Bell is a 17-year-old girl whose mother is addicted to drugs. The police arrest her mother and separate the children, forcing them to leave their family dog Spike behind, but Gracie does whatever she can to keep her family together. With their mother in and out of their lives and her sister getting pregnant and running off to get married, Gracie steps up to be the caregiver and guardian to her brothers while continuing her own schooling and working part-time.

Eventually Gracie decides that, to keep the family stable and away from their mother’s errant ways, she must petition to adopt her three brothers in court: Ryan, Jonny, and Robbie Jack Armstrong. She files the case, but not without a fight from her mother. In a tense courtroom, the judge Roberta Maxwell asks each boy who they want to live with, and all three say Gracie, underscoring the stability they have found in her care.

Seeing those answers, the judge terminates parental rights of their mother and grants custody to Gracie. The family adopts the surname Weatherly, a testament to the many trials they have weathered together, and the story closes with a look at how well the Weatherly family is thriving.
