Molly Moon (Raffey Cassidy) was abandoned at horrid Hardwick House. She hates many people like Edna (Celia Imrie) and Miss Adderstone (Lesley Manville), the ghastly orphanage owner. One day she finds a magical book that gives her the power of hypnotism. She makes her life easier using the hypnosis, but it leads her too far and she must not just use the power of hypnotism but the power of friendship to make things right again.
