Precious lives in Harlem with her nearly psychotic mother, Mary, who physically, mentally and sexually abuses her daughter on a regular basis, leaving her mentally damaged almost beyond repair. The second pregnancy gets Precious ejected from school, but she's given a second chance in the form of an alternative school, where she meets Miss Blu Rain, and a roomful of new friends with similar learning problems.
Things start looking up, and some of the chips are brushed from Precious' ample shoulders.
