When Frankie's mother died, her father left her with her sister in an orphanage in Chicago. Frankie thought it was a temporary measure: when Dad got back on his feet, he could take them back again. But her dreams were shattered when her father arrived with a new woman and said that he was leaving the state. Now Frankie and Tony are completely alone - two young, useless girls who want to survive. As the embers of the Great Depression smolder into the fires of World War II, Frankie searches for something that will help her survive amid the ruins of a destroyed America. Frankly, even I don’t yet know how Frankie’s story will end. But I will watch it, to find out. At least that's what ghosts usually do.
