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.
