Here’s a secret: three kids, each with their own quirks and struggles, come together to create a magical world where anything is possible. One talks nonstop, another barely speaks, and the third imagines driving a Cadillac. But when their fantasy and real lives start to mix, they’ll discover something surprising about friendship—and that’s only the beginning.
