In the 1930s, Moose Flanagan moves with his family from Santa Monica to Alcatraz Island, where his father has gotten a job as an electrician and a guard; the family moved, in part, in the hopes of Moose's sister Natalie getting into the Esther P. Maranoff school for disabled children. But Natalie doesn't get in, and she becomes Moose's responsibility after school when their mother goes to San Francisco to teach piano lessons. Moose loves Natalie and doesn't always agree with his mom about what's best for her; he's also frustrated that he isn't able to play baseball with his friends after school. There aren't many other kids his age on the island, and the one who is - Piper - is the warden's daughter. Piper is sweet-faced but full of schemes and mischief; ultimately, though, Moose takes a leaf out of Piper's book and sends a letter to Al Capone to ask for his help getting Natalie admitted to the school.
