A whimsical, globe-trotting adventure about a neglected boy seeking parental love, balancing fantastical comedy with genuine emotional longing.

Eleven-year-old North has had it with his parents. They are always busy with their careers and don't give North the attention he needs, so he files a lawsuit against them. The judge rules that North should either find new parents or return to his own parents within two months. Thus North starts off on a journey around the world to find parents that really care about him.
