Annotation:
When his mother leaves him at home while she goes to buy drugs, 3-year-old Gerald Nickelby accidentally starts a fire and is badly burned. Afterward, his mother is charged with child neglect and sentenced to jail, and Gerald is sent to live with his firm but loving Aunt Queen. Six years later, after his mother is released from jail and Aunt Queen dies of a heart attack, Gerald goes to live with his mother and her new husband, Jordan. Unhappy with the situation, Gerald finds comfort through his relationship with his 4-year-old half-sister, Angel, who was born while his mother was incarcerated. When Gerald realizes that Jordan is sexually abusing Angel, he does everything in his power to save her.
