When Mother Teresa signed on to foster over the Christmas holiday, she did not realize how many children needed help in the UK. Siblings Akin and Tola arrive from a neglectful home. Ella is saved from a shipping container by police before being brought to Teresa's door. Amaka storms into their lives, a child of wealth newly orphaned and abrasive. As Teresa and her daughter Alice try to make the foster children feel at home, it seems that the spirits of Christmas have other plans.
