Annie

Originally left by her parents as a baby with the promise that they’d be back for her someday, it’s been a hard life ever since with Annie’s mean foster mom. But everything is about to change when the hard-nosed tycoon and New York mayoral candidate Will Stacks makes a thinly-veiled campaign move and takes her in. Stacks believes he’s her guardian angel, but Annie’s self-assured nature and bright, sun-will-come-out-tomorrow outlook on life just might mean it’s the other way around.
