Priidik accidentally finds an old book from his grandpa's antique shop-- one that can magically fix things. The boy decides to use the book to revive a dead butterfly who was killed due to his own inattention. Priidik's dad, as a single parent, disapproves of such boundless imagination and does his best to prepare Priidik for his first day of school. The objectives of the son and father do not match, however, and their ways of thinking differ drastically. Without his dad's knowing, Priidik wishes to say good-bye to his lost mom and passing childhood with the help of the book.
