Show plot summary (may contain spoilers)

Although Mikey is just a little boy, he is capable of anything. Every family Mikey lives with has a series of unexplained "accidents," so he is constantly moved from home to home. After his original family dies "accidentally," authorities take Mikey and place him in the care of adoptive parents, who of course eventually learn that there were no accidents.
