Young Grace and her boyfriend Mason work in a juvenile asylum. The shelter is full of problem children, such as the violent Marcus, the arrogant Jaden, the poisonous Louis, and the doll-loving Sammy. These underage children have encountered various domestic violence and other problems, and their psychology gradually becomes distorted over time, but their psychology is still very kind and longing for love. Grace does everything she can to help these children, not only organizing activities every day, but also coping with emergencies, fearing that the children will be in danger, but she never tires. However, Grace also has her own knots and her own shadow. The theme of "Juvenile Shelter" is heavy, but warm. At the beginning of the movie, a few counselors are chatting, and suddenly the ringing sounds loudly. A problematic teenager ran away and the counselor hurried to catch up.
