Synopsis
They've got to stick together - whatever it takes . . .
Vicky and Rhianna are twins but they couldn't be more different. For their fourteenth birthday, Vicky wants a card from the hottest boy in school. Rhianna wants a Furby.
Instead, they get a nasty shock - their foster parents can't cope and it looks as if Vicky and Rhianna and their younger brother Jamie will have to be split up.
How can they stay together? Desperate times call for desperate measures . . .
