When he meets James Lawton, a human boy, Peter discovers what true friendship can be. Together, Peter, James, and other newspaper boy friends venture on the city's cobblestones. Soon Peter learns his Newsie friends are in a tough situation.

As he watches how it unfolds for the Newsies, Peter realizes that something is missing in his life. He questions the happiness an adoptive family can bring him. Will he accept the circumstances placed in front of him, or will Peter keep running from the truth?
