This episode tells the contrasting stories of four foster carers and four children with them.

14-year-old Tyler has moved in with Kate and Mike after getting into trouble with the police. He settles into life in the countryside with Kate, who he says has 'superpowers or something'. When three months into his year-long foster placement Tyler goes missing, his foster carers question whether they can ever give him what he really needs.

14-year old Sonny, his 12-year-old sister Trinity and 10-year-old Marc have been with their foster carers Nita and David for four years now. All are about to undergo huge change as foster carers Nita and David are applying to become special guardians for them. If they are successful, it will provide a guarantee of long-term future there. Nita hopes it will give the children a sense of stability and permanency, something she didn't have as a child.
