When a family of four fatherless children hide their mother's death to avoid going to an orphanage, the eldest two think they are capable of assuming the mature roles forced upon them. Parenthood and maturity, however, brings with it stronger urges--urges which brother Jack and sister Julie find hard to resist. (official distributor synopsis)
