At first Curtis isn't worried when his mother doesn't come home after her all-night shift at the gas bar. For a time he manages on his own, looking after himself and his five-year-old brother, but then the credit card maxes out, and the landlord starts demanding the rent. Just in time the boys make friends with cranky old Mrs. Burt who lives across the street. When the authorities start poking around, the boys agree to accompany Mrs. Burt to her remote cabin by a lake, but as summer turns to fall, and Mrs. Burt seems to be prepared to spend winter in the cabin, Curtis begins to worry.
