Precious goes with her instincts and finds a welcoming atmosphere in an alternative education program where she's taken under the wing of a kind-hearted young teacher (Patton). Even though she's beginning to learn to read and write, the skills that will hopefully lead her away from the ignorance and torture of her home life, Precious finds that breaking free isn't as easy as just walking away.
