Jack is dreading summer as he has to take care of his non-verbal autistic sister, Maddy, while their mom works a second job. During a visit to a flea market, Maddy surprisingly speaks, urging Jack to trade their mom's car for a box of mysterious seeds. This exchange leads to the growth of a magical jungle in their backyard, featuring onion babies, biting pumpkins, and a dragon that appears one transformative moonlit night, changing everything.
