A class of schoolchildren, sometime in the future, go on a virtual tour of the 1930s to learn about the famine that caused the death of millions at that time. One of the boys finds himself more drawn into the tale than he would have expected. The film blends actual history with a touching time-defying friendship in the vein of Tom’s Midnight Garden.

Russ Millings has just been released from prison after serving 21 years for a 3rd strike conviction for possessing an ounce of marijuana. As he tries to adapt to a world he doesn’t recognize – including trying to learn how to use the internet – he finds an abandoned baby in a dumpster behind the fast food restaurant where he works as a dishwasher. Unsure of what to do, and caught between impulses of kindness and panic, Russ soon realizes this could be his chance at redemption.
