A colorful, energetic family comedy that uses a child's wild imagination to explore sibling rivalry and the bonds that ultimately hold families together.

A story about how a new baby's arrival impacts a family, told from the point of view of a delightfully unreliable narrator, a wildly imaginative 7 year old named Tim.
