Seit sie denken kann, hegt die elfjährige Charlie denselben geheimen Wunsch: eine richtige Familie zu haben. Jeden Tag nutzt sie mindestens eine Chance dazu, sich dies zu wünschen, wie z.B. ein gefundener Penny, eine Sternschnuppe oder ein vierblättriges Kleeblatt. Da ihre Eltern nicht in der Lage sind, sich um sie zu kümmern, muss sie zu ihrer Tante und ihrem Onkel, die sie kaum kennt, ins ländliche North Carolina ziehen. Die beiden nehmen Charlie warmherzig auf.

La situación familiar de Charlie es complicada: su papá está en la correccional y su mamá no puede cuidarla, por lo que debe mudarse con sus tíos Bertha y Gus a Colby, un pequeño pueblo en Carolina del Norte. Definitivamente esto no era parte de sus planes, y peor aún... ¡podría evitar que su misterioso deseo se cumpla!

Then he sees a violin for sale for $50 in a pawn shop window, and he can think of nothing else. There's just one problem: he only has $12.78.
