But Natalie has autism, and when she's rejected admittance to the institution, the stark setting of Alcatraz starts to unravel the tenuous coping mechanisms Moose's family has used for working with her disorder. When Moose satisfies Piper, the sweet little princess of the Warden, he has learned right off she's trouble. But she's also strangely irresistible. All Moose wants to do is protect Natalie, surpass his parents' prospects, and stay out of trouble. But on Alcatraz, trouble is never very a long way away.
