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

A year after recovering from a crippling accident, he finds himself facing the first year of middle school on his own. To make matters worse, his "best friend" has inexplicably made it his mission to torment Marvin at the turn of every corner.

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