The year is 1976: Parton is burning up the country music charts, and imaginative pre-teen Elizabeth (Julia Stone) has just discovered that her parents aren't who they seem to be. Determined to get back to her roots, Elizabeth runs away from home, and never looks back. Meanwhile, her adoptive mother (Macha Grenon) realizes she hasn't been doing the confused girl any favors by hiding the truth, and searches desperately for Elizabeth in hopes of getting a second chance to become a real family. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
