When four-year-old, fatherless Matthew sees a dragon at his window, he screams for his mother, but instead of being comforted, he is horrified to find she has disappeared. Matthew and his sixteen-year-old sister, Jessica, must find a way to reunite their family. Matthew and Jessica struggle to survive on their own and keep their desperate situation a secret.
