Marvin misses his old life—where he had friends, played soccer, and had a father who spent time with him. The one in which a massive wheelchair didn't take center stage.

A year after a crippling accident, Marvin faces the daunting task of starting middle school on his own. To make matters worse, his "best friend" has made it his mission to bully Marvin at the turn of every corner.

When a mysterious girl named Anna enters his life, Marvin realizes he's not alone and is introduced to a world of magic and wonder as she encourages him to have faith in himself and the people around him. But, Anna is struggling with her own challenges, and Marvin must choose between retreating to his safe yet lonely life or allowing the light back in and helping Anna shine again too.
