In 1935, Moose Flanagan’s
father gets a job on the infamous island of Alcatraz working as a prison
guard/electrician. Moose, his mother, and his autistic sister Natalie all have
to move to the island with his dad. Baseball helps Moose fit in with the other
boys, but when Natalie is kicked out of her school, Moose must help take of her
while his mother starts giving piano lessons on the mainland of San Francisco.
Moose gets drawn into helping
Piper, the warden’s daughter, in her plan of having classmates pay a nickel to
get their shirts washed by the inmates of Alcatraz, the most famous of all, Al
Capone. Once this plan backfires, Moose must be careful to stay out of trouble.
