Annie

In Harlem, NYC, young Annie Bennett finds herself in a challenging foster care situation. Under the supervision of the bitter Colleen Hannigan, Annie and her fellow foster sisters endure a life filled with strict rules and harsh chores.

Every Friday, Annie waits outside Domoni's restaurant, hoping her long-lost parents will return for her. This routine is fueled by a mysterious note she found, intensifying her desire to uncover her past.

Annie takes a brave step to save a Shiba Inu from bullies, showcasing her courageous spirit. She is rescued by William Stacks, a germophobic tycoon running for mayor, and the incident quickly goes viral.

The viral incident with Annie significantly boosts Stacks' popularity, increasing his campaign numbers by five points at a crucial moment. This newfound attention leads Stacks to consider incorporating Annie into his public image.

Stacks, encouraged by his campaign manager Guy Danlily, invites Annie to lunch. This meeting sets off a chain of events, culminating in Annie moving in with Stacks to enhance his public image.

As Annie moves in with Stacks, she begins to thrive in her new surroundings. She connects with Grace Farrell, Stacks' assistant, and becomes more relatable to the public, overshadowing Stacks himself.

During her time with Stacks, Annie adopts Sandy, the stray dog she previously saved. This moment symbolizes her growing joy and sense of belonging in her new life.

Stacks takes Annie and her foster friends to the premiere of MoonQuake Lake. Despite initially being uninterested, Stacks finds himself enjoying the evening, especially while sharing a playful moment with Grace.

At a charity event, Annie bravely shares her struggle with reading, making her vulnerability known. Stacks vows to support her educational needs, highlighting their growing bond.

As Stacks' campaign dwindles, Guy devises a plan with Colleen, utilizing impostors to claim Annie as their daughter. This scheme aims to artificially boost Stacks’ popularity but leads to unforeseen consequences.

Annie is kidnapped by the impostors in a desperate attempt to fulfill Guy's scheme. This moment triggers a frantic pursuit involving Stacks, Grace, Colleen, and local police, escalating the tension.

During the intense chase to rescue Annie, misunderstandings arise that threaten to fracture the bond between Stacks and Annie. The urgency of the situation tests their relationship at a critical moment.

In a surprising act, Stacks publicly announces his withdrawal from the mayoral race. This decision clears the air and allows for heartfelt confessions of love between Stacks and Grace, with Annie witnessing their joy.

Amidst the celebrations, Annie declares her intention to establish the 'Stacks Literacy Centre' to help others struggling with literacy. This moment symbolizes her resilience and desire to uplift those in need.

As the story concludes, everyone joins in singing Annie's Tomorrow, celebrating hope and community. Colleen, despite her doubts, tries to maintain her moment in the spotlight, reflecting the story’s themes of resilience.
