On a tiny farm in the countryside of old Spain, a boy is already showing promise in his young life when his father suddenly takes ill. As Peter embarks on an unexpected solo journey to take his family's vegetables to market, he must call upon their Good Providence to help as he faces an unforeseen obstacle. Now only time will tell if Peter can learn to rely on his inner wisdom in enough time to solve a big problem.

Ravi is doing his best to adjust to his new country and third grade. Unfortunately, he does not understand much of anything about the American culture.
