When Isobel is dragged on an extended vacation to Hollywood, she anticipates nothing but homesickness especially with her father away at war. But that s before she meets Ranger, her fast-talking, movie-obsessed cousin. Ranger ropes Isobel and her sister Sylvie into helping him create the perfect film, but their adventures come to a screeching halt when the girls father returns home with a serious injury. While Isobel and Sylvie struggle with their grief, Ranger uses the real-life tragedy as inspiration for his epic film, which might be just the thing to help the family heal.
