Sylvia (Ellen Page) e Jennie Likens (Hayley McFarland) são irmãs deixadas na casa de Gertrude Baniszweski (Catherine Keener) por uma longa temporada, já que seus pais trabalham em um circo. Gertrude é uma mãe solteira com 6 crianças e que, devido a dificuldades financeiras, aceita cuidar das garotas. Só que ela não esperava o quanto a presença delas afetaria sua natureza instável.
