Wzruszające wspomnienia mężczyzny, który prowadził przedszkole dla dzieci z niepełnosprawnością fizyczną i intelektualną. Gdy Shane Dunphy zaczynał pracę w ośrodku wychowawczym dla dzieci Małe Urwisy, nie miał pojęcia, z czym przyjdzie mu się zmierzyć. Od wielu lat nie pracował w instytucjach opieki przedszkolnej, a gdy przybył na miejsce, od razu się okazało, że dwie pracujące tam kobiety, Susan i Tush, są już na skraju wytrzymałości i zamierzają zrezygnować z pracy, zaś same dzieci są rozpuszczone i nie słuchają nikogo. W centrum tego chaosu Shane natyka się na Tammy, śliczną jak laleczka pięciolatkę, która dla wszystkich stanowi zagadkę. Dziewczynka nie mówi, ani nawet się nie uśmiecha, ale wykazuje oznaki niezwykłej inteligencji.
