A young boy with autism defies expectations and brings hope to a family still reeling from loss, as he pursues his extraordinary passion for flight.

A family of three, including two children and their dog, move into a new home after the death of their father. The mother, who hasn't worked in 13 years, is struggling to adjust to her new life. The teenage daughter becomes fascinated with her autistic neighbor, Eric, who has never spoken and believes he can fly. Eric's guardian is his uncle, a heavy drinker, and his teacher, Mrs. Sherman, is fighting to keep him in a mainstream classroom. The daughter sets out to uncover the truth about Eric's beliefs and his inner psyche.
