Her journey leads her to her stepfather, a former gangster boss who has turned over a new leaf after losing his wife to an illness. Eager to start a legitimate business, the ex-boss opens a bakery, employing his entire former gang of misfits. The only problem? He dreams of being a master baker but sucks big time at baking. The runaway student soon finds herself living and working with this eccentric crew, including a reformed young hoodlum who was recently released from a five-year prison sentence.
