The network premiere of Nick Cassavetes’ drama, based on the novel by Jodi Picoult. Eleven-year-old Anna Fitzgerald (Abigail Breslin – Little Miss Sunshine) and her family tell, in flashbacks, the story of her older sister Kate’s (Sofia Vassilieva) diagnosis of leukaemia and her mother Sara’s (Cameron Diaz) and father Brian’s (Jason Patric) decision to conceive a genetically engineered daughter for the express purpose of donating body parts to Kate. When Kate desperately needs a kidney, Anna decides that she doesn’t want to donate hers and goes to the lengths of hiring a lawyer in her quest for medical emancipation from her family.
