 When 15-year-old Victoria got on the train to visit her dad in New York City, she planned nothing more than a long summer of kickass shopping.

She didn't plan on still being on the train when it left Penn Station.

And she never, ever, planned on Wills.

Now, can she keep him from falling through the cracks?
