Cindy Britton (Belinda Balaski), a teenaged girl from a small town, runs away from home. She ends up in the seedy Venice Beach district of Los Angeles, alone, hungry, and very frightened. Teaming up with a streetwise younger boy named Francis (Claudio Martinez), Cindy endeavors to survive her daunting new environment as best she can -- while the authorities conduct a frantic search for the girl. This Emmy-winning ABC Afterschool Special was filmed on location.
