Quick Synopsis
Annie is a spirited young girl living in New York City in 2014, who has grown up in the foster care system after being left by her parents as a baby with the hope they would return for her. Despite facing challenges, including a harsh foster mother named Miss Hannigan, Annie remains optimistic and resilient. Her life changes when Will Stacks, a tough businessman running for mayor of New York and advised by his capable vice president and a cunning campaign strategist, takes her into his care as part of a political strategy. While Stacks sees himself as Annie's protector, her confident personality and hopeful attitude suggest that she may actually have a positive influence on him.
Detailed Synopsis of Annie
Annie is a young, happy foster kid who's also tough enough to make her way on the streets of New York in 2014. Originally left by her parents as a baby with the promise that they'd be back for her someday, it's been a hard knock life ever since with her mean foster mom Miss Hannigan. But everything's about to change when the hard-nosed tycoon and New York mayoral candidate Will Stacks—advised by his brilliant VP and his shrewd and scheming campaign advisor—makes a thinly-veiled campaign move and takes her in. Stacks believes he's her guardian angel, but Annie's self-assured nature and bright, sun-will-come-out-tomorrow outlook on life just might mean it's the other way around.
